4950, Voice of Pujiang, 1405-1433, Nov 15, Chinese chit-chat with sound effects, short audio clips, and an occasional pop song. A few bars of "Take Me Home Country Roads" (not John Denver's version) was played at 1405 and again at 1425; perhaps this is the theme song of the program; after each "Country Roads" clip there was an adv that ended with the English phrase "SNG[?] Advertising, your better source." Good signal, rising above the band noise and // 5075, which was just fair, and 3280, which was approaching fadeout. (Wilkins in DXplorer)

6155 (fair). By 1045 CBR had dropped down and I was instead hearing Guangxi Foreign BC Station, clearly //5050, in Vietnamese, playing traditional Chinese music, signal continued to improve by 1055 and could not detect CBR under Guangxi at all. Suggest that we need a positive ID here or a clear parallel to be sure of what we are hearing. (Howard)
