Re: [IRCA] April 2017 Kona DXpedition Loggings and MP3's (Conclusion)



Gary, are you positive that you heard 5+1 time pips on 1566? 5+1 is pretty uncommon aside from a handful of stations over there. 4+1 is the norm for Korea, Japan, and a good deal of China, with some exceptions. Yanbian People's Radio is the standard 4+1 (beep beep beep beep BEEP). There isn't a lot else to hear over there that is more than just a few kilowatts (or even more than 1kw), just Jeju, Yanbian, and Pyongyang, all with a fair chunk of power of 20 to 250kw on 1566. So I'd guess that was Yanbian. Plus, the signal you recorded appears to be Mandarin. Unless you were lucky to hear another lower-powered station from far inland, I'd assume it's them.

Yanbian should sound like this (this is their 1053 signal //1566) with the time pips at 2:32 and unmistakable jingle ID at 0:11 and 3:02, minus the local 1053 jammer from 6 miles away in the back, which is now off the air since North Korea turned off:

(Conclusion)

1566 HLAZ Jeju, S. Korea Fairly regular with its Chinese Christian service around 1530 each morning in Kona, but never at very great strength (possibly due to unfavorable solar activity). Here at 1609 on 4-9 it is the music station playing the Chinese version of "I Would Rather Have Jesus," in a mix with the (presumed) Mainland Chinese Yanbian Jammer

1566 Yanbian, China (Presumed location, Jammer) Because of Chinese inflection this is the apparent co-channel of HLAZ in the same recording at 1609 on 4-9; it was also received at 1600 on 4-10 with Chinese 5+1 time pips (thanks to Chris Kadlec for his assessment) https://app.box.com/s/m66yi638bm6r1vrigiewo9680yuydvk6
