Final logs from Shanghai, China

China

All times UTC // parallel frequency *sing-on sign-off*

CNR-1 frequencies, 0807-0827, June 2, heard with the national news conference, starts with a statement read in Chinese, then into questions and answers in Chinese and English. Not broadcast on the weekend.

6200, PBS-XZDT, Lhasa, 1205-1328, May 30 & June 1, 2 and 3, with fair reception, still only with CNR-1 relay.

4905 // 4920, PBS Lhasa, May 30 & June 1, 2 and 3, with no relay of CNR-1, decent signal.

6060 // 9740 // 12015, Sichuan PBS, 1139-1245, June 1, religious choir with what sounded like Christian songs, segment of songs by kids, interview with children. June 1 was International Children's Day and a big day here in China, with parents taking their kids to the park and doing other fun things. Even in the quake area they celebrated the day. Found that most China stations today played segments of children's songs. 7225 not heard.

3280 // 4950, Shanghai PBS, *1200-1245, June 1, the SW sign-on time varies a lot, often heard hours before 1200. // 97.7 FM, which seems on 24 hours a day. Heard with many children's programs for International Children's Day.

Easy FM (CRI), follow-up detail: the "China Drive" program is broadcast twice a day, Mon.-Fri.

4900, VOS, *1200-1208, June 3, suddenly on in Amoy (clearly not Chinese), good reception. Their sign-on time does not vary.

6185, checked here a number of times after 1400 (when it's a clear frequency) looking for CHBC, but nothing was heard. 4830 always had a decent signal. (Ron Howard, Shanghai, China, Eton E5)

North Korea

[non]. 6003, Echo of Hope, *1056-1108, May 27, on with easy-listening music, 1100 gong rung slowly 3 times, // 3985, both with strong jamming. 6003 was off the air but the heavy jamming continued anyway on May 30, they returned May 31, still with strong jamming. Do not recall 6003 being jammed this badly in the past. No jamming present on 6003 for June 1.

6020, Shiokaze, June 2, strong jamming already here before 1400 sign-on, same type of jamming as against 9940 (North Korea Reform Radio).
