Congratulations Tim!
I think that you will have other good possibilities there when the auroral "doughnut hole" gets large enough to support paths to Asiatic Russia, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan (+ other "stans"), other China etc. right over the pole.
Neil Kaz will probably have a go at it (especially from Grafton, WI). Minnesota DXers, at least Beverage-equipped ones, too I'd think.
So far here 1521 is Saudi and/or Spain. China, when on 1525 in the '70s, got to MA, NY, NJ, and PA. No logs around here lately but maybe that will change.

After reading recent reports that China was logged by Allen Willie in
Newfoundland and the PEI gang, I thought I'd pay closer attention to 1521
during the early evening hours. Patience paid off tonight when I caught
some faint Russian talk and music beginning around 00:30 UTC. I was able
to parallel what I was hearing in real-time to a Kiwi remote SDR located in
Novosibirsk, Russia (roughly 1000km north of Urumqi) that had a strong copy
on the same signal. Despite not catching an ID on the remote receiver, I'm
fairly confident that I had CRI, which would be a new country here.
Honestly, I never thought to look for China at this hour until reading the
reports mentioned above.
