Thanks for your comments, Nick. Of course, out on the Grayland beach without WiFi (or even cell phone service)Âthe RRI web stream isn'tÂa likely possibility :-) 
 
Anyway, having remembered your recent logging of 1377-RRI I did spend a considerable time on that frequency trying to get some clues around 1345, including this extended 3-minute recording of the exotic music and female announcer (who certainly doesn't sound Japanese to me). The occasional male Chinese voice was confirmed to be // 6125, and as such is CNR1.ÂÂ

Anyway, Nick, you certainly should have stayed at Gabriola Island for at least one more day! Walt and I are in total agreement that it was one of the best Asian openings in quiteÂa while-- kind of like travel in a time tunnel back to November of 2009.

I'd feel more confident if you had heard one or two Filipinos as well 
Gary (such as 1314 or 1512), but guess that there were only so many 
minutes of opening. Â The Grayland master log really only has Japan 
other than CNR1 as recent Asians heard on this 
channel. ÂUnfortunately the only IDs on Toli Toli here have been 
using the web stream as a parallel. 

I suspect you had the best morning of the opening there, at least for 
Asians. Â NOAA is predicting fireworks soon, but for the time being, 
there has been a slight carrier heard on 1215 here this evening. 

Unfortunately, I missed it completely, as had an early appointment 
back in town, and no time to set up the home listening station, so my 
DXpedition is finished. Â Â The signal strength recorder at home 
implied that outside of the big guns, such second-string channels as 
603 891 1332 Â1314 1386 and 1422 had reasonable audio during the peak 
period of 1325-1335UT 

best wishes, 

Nick
