Re: [IRCA] Strong Chinese on 657 kHz

I played your file and then replayed my SDR file from the exact same time. What a difference! Mine was nowhere near as clear as what you recorded. I could tell someone one was talking on 657 in the 660 splatter, but it wasn't good enough to determine the gender of the speaker or the language being spoken. Sometimes it's hard to believe we're only 40 miles apart.

Hello All,

This morning during excellent TP-DXing conditions there was one of the
more bizarre Asiatic fade-ins that was ever observed here, and I was curious
whether any of the other TP-DXers noticed it.

Around 1333 UTC a weakened 657-Pyongyang BS Korean-speaking YL was  alone
on the frequency, when suddenly a Mandarin Chinese station appeared under
Pyongyang and completely overcame the NK station within a minute,  leaving no
trace of Pyongyang _http://www.mediafire.com/?i3yln7vt34sw6k3_
(http://www.mediafire.com/?i3yln7vt34sw6k3)  .
The Chinese station was alone on the frequency at a strong level for 5
minutes, with apparent news and Chinese pop music
_http://www.mediafire.com/?176l0s1w9way10x_ (http://www.mediafire.com/?176l0s1w9way10x)  .  After
dominating the frequency for about 5 minutes, the UnID Chinese station  finally
faded back into the noise, allowing Pyongyang to weakly return to the
frequency.

Chinese has never been heard on 657 kHz here, so the station would be a new
  TP if I can determine the identity. Any suggestions from the Grayland
experts  would be appreciated. In addition to this reception, 891 kHz also had a
  strong UnID mystery here this morning, and several other frequencies had
very  interesting TP signals. I hope you guys had as much fun as I did!
