OK, thanks Gary. I recall that discussion now, but thought at that
time KBS w/CC as scheduled was likely (and a couple of weeks later
heard at sea myself w/ KBS ID). Of course at this later time, KBS
is supposed to be in Korean according to WRTH.
It will be interesting to see what you track down, as I was hearing
CC type talk myself this morning on that channel, but didn't stop to
figure out if it might be Cantonese or standard Chinese (not being
an expert in such matters). But CNR1 on that channel would be new
for me also, and I didn't hear it at Grayland.
best wishes,
Nick
