Shangqiu PBS, Shangqiu EN. At this point the
station overpowered the usually dominating Jiangxi
PBS with a local hospital ad. Phone numbers
are always good hints, in the case of Shangqiu
the local area code being 0370 (thanks to Weiwei
for checking the number!). An ID at 1400 UTC
was unfortunately under the dominant Jiangxi
and was only barely discernible. Later I found
a better ID at 1301 UTC.  |

zhi Sheng, Zhangpu FJ. The language on this
channel resembled Cantonese. Normally Vietnam
is on top during this kind of conditions. |

DZNL
San Fernando "Aksyon Radio" gave an
ID and other closing announcements at 1301,
and switched the transmitter off at 1308 UTC. |

as "Amerika Ovozi Radio". |

I heard the interval melody which has at other
times been played with an ID. |

JOFG
NHK1 Fukui |

6.1. |
1300 |
Beijing
PBS (Home Radio), Beijing BJ. Identifies as
"Ai Jia Guangbo". Both my home and
office in Beijing used to be almost opposite
to this station, across the main street, so
this was indeed my "Home Radio" -
although I never listened to it while in Beijing. |
| 927 |

Nanyang PBS (Arts and Life Service), Nanyang
EN

Heilongjiang
PBS, Harbin/Jiamusi HL |
| 963 |
6.1. |
1300 |
Liaoning
PBS (News Station), Dalian/Beipiao LN. This
is a common station here, but I wanted to list
it, because somewhat misleadingly the announced
frequencies are 1089 AM and 102.9 FM, which
are considered the main frequencies of the news
service, and the word "Liaoning" was
not mentioned in every ID. |
| 1008 |
8.1. |
2000 |
+
Nanjing PBS (News Service), Nanjing JS, never
heard in Europe before, and a total shock as
otherwise conditions to East Asia were below
average. |
| 1044 |
9.1. |
1000 |
HLCI
KBS1 Samcheok, rel. 864 HLKR |
| 1080 |

DWIN
Dagupan, simulcasting with 1062 DZEC, though
a few seconds behind the more common DZEC. |
| 1107 |
9.1. |
1100 |
Jiaxing
PBS (News Service), Jiaxing ZJ |
| 1160.8930 |
8.1. |
1049 |
DWCM
Dagupan is of course a common station, but mentioned
here because of its distinctive split frequency |
| 1197 |
7.1. |
1130,1300 |
+
Heze PBS (News General Channel), Heze SD. The
name of this service in Chinese was "Xinwen
Zonghe Pinlu". The much more common Shanghai
Opera service was identified here as well, but
Heze Opera service (1071 AM) remains on my most
wanted list. |
| 1251 |
1.1. |
1000 |
Ningbo
PBS (City Life Channel), Ningbo ZJ, mentioning
only its FM frequency of 102.9 MHz. |
| 1269 |
9.1. |
1100 |
JOJR
Tokushima/Ikeda, "JRT" |
| 1278 |
8.1. |
1300 |
DZRM
Malolos gave a very clear ID exactly at the
hour, although not much else was audible: "1278
DZRM Radio Magasin". Multiple Facebook
accounts connected to DZRM can be found, one
of them for a program called "Sama Sama
Salo Salo" - which sounds both very Finnish
and very funny. |
| 1296.0320 |
8.1. |

DXAB
Davao |

DYSI
Iloilo. DYSI was supposed to have moved to 873
kHz several years ago, but it is still here.
|
| 1368 |
30.12. |
1000 |
JOHP
NHK1 Takamatsu with a fairly rare local call-letter
ID: "JOHP NHK Takamatsu dai-ichi hoso" |
| 1404 |
31.12. |
1300 |
+
Fujian PBS (Economic Channel), Fuzhou FJ, identifying
like this: "Zheli shi Fujian Jingji Guangbo".
This was a truly welcome catch after having
heard Hubei overwhelmingly dominating this frequency
for hundreds of times. |
| 1431 |
7.1. |
1300 |
+
Huaibei PBS (News Service), Huaibei AH, another
very nice Chinese catch on this afternoon. Identifies
as "Huaibei Renmin Guangbo Diantai, Xinwen
Zonghe Guangbo". |
| 1431 |
9.1. |
1059 |
Songyuan
PBS, Songyuan JL. Thanks to Guote for identifying
this! |
| 1503 |
5.1. |
1000 |
NHK1
Kumamoto, Aso-Kuju (relaying 756 JOGK Kumamoto).
JOUK Akita was of course on top, but surprisingly
also this low-power station (100 watts v. 10
kW) was audible with a call-letter ID. |
| 1565.9750 |
8.1. |
1039 |
UNID
Philippino station, saving split for future
reference. It was audible until HLAZ (on 1566.004
kHz) signed off at 1059 UTC. |
| 1575 |
7.1. |
1000 |
Liaoning
PBS (General Service), presumably via Dalian
PBS, which is the only Liaoning station here.
The ID was the standard Zonghe Guangbo ID with
1089 AM and 102.9 FM frequencies announced. |

as well. |
