Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] Asian language station on 1540 KHz?

[Earl Higgins <earlthenut@xxxxxxxxx>]

Good to see you here Les. I don't know if anyone has answered, but your Asian on 1540 could either be CHIN Toronto

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHIN_(AM)

Or KGBC Galveston

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KGBC

The Toronto station is independent and multilingual (including non-Asian languages), the Galveston station is CRI (100% Chinese government controlled programming). I believe both stations have webstreams, so the next time you run into this you should be able to figure out which one it is, if you are near a computer. Both have been heard here in St. Louis Missouri, with the Toronto station being downright regular.


I hope this helps.

I haven't done any serious AM DXing in quite some time, so I was trying 
to become familiar with the "regulars" on 1540 KHz this evening. Around 
7 PM Central time, I did
some listening from my car, and noticed a very loud Asian language 
station. I don't recall logging this format on the frequency in the past.

Listening now at 11:30 PM, I don't hear a trace of them. Any idea who 
this station is?

73 & Good Luck to all with the test,
