[IRCA] Strong Chinese on 657 kHz

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

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!
