[Dennis Vroom <vroomski@xxxxxxxxx>]

Interesting morning here in Kalama, WA.  New station heard on 394 long wave.  Kodiak Alaska with weather forecast.  On MW channels HLAZ 1566 had a good signal with no audio at 1247.  At 1305 heard what seemed like a ID jingle in Chinese with the words "Guangbo Diantai" spoken. Followed by open carrier.  1701 produced two to the Aussie stations, one dominant with Arabic music or chanting for around 18 minutes until XEPE splatter resumed. I did record and will review the recording latter today.

1701    AUSTRALIA, 1316-1333 two weak signals, one station with woman singing Arabic song? Other station to poor to make out programming. Not much splatter from XEPE. Best on Sky wire loop. Better signal than yesterdays reception. 1326 and still singing (chanting?). Almost fair signal at 1323. 1327 weaker other station in briefly with music, 1328 dominant station back with singing. 3VMV "Islamic Voice Radio" or "Voice of Charity" would be my guesses. XEPE splatter increasing at 1334.  Very surprised that splatter was low for 18 minutes.
