1458 Man the catch of the DXpedition (I think) was just sitting there
as I tuned by. Wham, traditional Mongolian men's chorus doing very
well. For several odd reasons, I've heard a bit of traditional
Mongolian men's singing and it is unmistakable. It is related to Tuvan
"throat singing" and similar to that type of singing from NE Siberia
and the Arctic. It is hauntingly beautiful. After sitting there
stunned for a minute (I NEVER hear anything on 1458) I hit the record
button and dove into PAL. Sure enough, there is a 200kW station that
I've tentatively heard a couple of times over the years in Hohhot, Nei
Menggu (Inner Mongolia, China.) Just gotta be this baby! I recorded
about 20 minutes worth. There were several solos by men and all of
the music was "a cappella" without instrumental accompaniment. I think
Walt may have heard this, too.
Good Catch John!!!!!!That's some pretty neat stuff!!! A while back I
watched a complete TV Show on that Accapella Throat Singing you speak of
in this message!! I think it was on National Geographic Channel??? That
is really an amazing form of singing....and like you say...it is very
haunting!! There was a guy from North America......can't remember if he
was American or Canadian...and he was Trained in this Throat
Singing...and had spent years over there perfecting it...and the show
centered on his exploits in that part of the country!!
I fear that I'll not get a QSL... the regional Chinese stations rarely
answer English reports. I'm sure gonna try, tho'. Heard from 1304-1324
Hey John..........Send 'em a report in Mongolian!!!...or better yet
call 'em up on the phone and Throat Sing your report to them!!
HAHAHAHHA!!! God luck....I sure hope they answer the QSL Request...that
will be a good one!
GOOD LUCK AT GRAYLAND!
Mike's new lady at the front desk is "Leslie" a cute 40-50 year-old
