Re: [IRCA] Poipu, Kauai (Hawaii) DXing

[Gary DeBock <d1028gary@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for your assessment on the 783 Chinese station, Chris, and also on the 801 jammer (or lack thereof).

Of all the Asian signals here in this Asian-oriented DXing paradise, 783-China and (surprise!) 657-Pyongyang BS are the S9+ leaders every morning. This is a major reversal from the Kona, Hawaii situation last December, when 819-KCBS and 981-CNR1 were far and away the top dogs.
When I heard this bizarre Chinese rap music on 783-China at 1541 UTC yesterday, I thought that it sounded like a weird Chinese copy of Korean rap artists like Leessang :-)

Unfortunately 801 kHz had this monster UnID covering the frequency from 0910-0930 tonight, which I think may be from the Philippines. Can anyone provide language or station identification?  https://dreamcrafts.box.com/s/mpi5eam5d93beb5hd0kne8y0x50h9zua
