Aoki shows Sound of Hope = Xi Wang Zhi Sheng on Sat and Sun only at 09-11 with 100 kW, 325 degrees via Tanshui, Taiwan site, and of course *jammed. As I have pointed out time after time, we are more likely to hear ChiCom jamming than SOH itself, over here as the jamming is surely more powerful and less direxional than SOH even when the latter is running 100 kW rather than 1 kW. 

Just because the jammer is represented in Aoki only by a single asterisk does not mean it is not the primary signal on most such frequencies! So your two logs above, unless you understand Chinese a lot better than I do, could more likely be reversed. Lacking that, one should be able to find some CNR1 frequencies to // which are NOT jammers and thus sort out which is which you are hearing on the frequency in question.

If you don`t recognize it, how can you be sure it`s a national anthem rather than some other piece of martial music? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

What do you mean by ``time tone``?? Are there ticks exactly every second, and/or a marker exactly on the minute, but no voice announcements? Is it in CW mode or not? Possibly YVTO reactivated nominal 5000 along with spur? (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
