Sorry for the double MP3 link for the 1566-HLAZ Chinese service sign off at 1229 UTC at Cape Perpetua this morning.
The link for 1566-HLAZ's Japanese service sign on at 1230 UTC (at equally freakish strength) is

Oregon Cliff (Cape Perpetua) Ultralight TP's for 8-24

Hello All,
It was a wild morning at the Highway 101 turnoff on the side of Oregon's highest
ocean side cliff this morning, with gale force winds pounding the turnoff with
serious force. Since this is normal cliff-side weather, however, the weather
preparations for the radios and 15" FSL generally allowed the DXing session to
proceed normally. The FSL and its PVC base were tied down securely with 175 lb.
test plastic tie wraps, although the clipboard-mounted log sheets took flight
during a severe wind gust.
In general it was an Asian morning here on the Oregon coast, with extremely
potent signals from several Japanese and Korean big guns. 531-PI's overwhelming
signal was a notable exception, with the 5 kW Kiwi fighting it out with an
apparent 531-JOQG before sending the NHK1 station into total oblivion around
1312. 1566-HLAZ had a meltdown-level signal for both its Chinese service sign
off at 1229 and its Japanese service sign on at 1230, while 657-Pyongyang,
972-HLCA, 1134-JOQR and 1593-CNR1 were all vibrant.
The mysteries of the wild morning were a mix of Chinese and apparent DU English
on 684 around 1324 and a mystery TP station (in an unknown language) all alone
on 639 right before the propagation folded at 1402. Hopefully Asian language
experts can listen to the MP3's and provide some suggestions. Overall, it was a
very thrilling session-- in more ways than one.

Male-to-male conversation doesn't sound Chinese or Japanese, and
KFI had already faded. Any ideas?
