Does anybody know if that standard YL "Beijing... " ID heard on CNR
1 is used on other CNR national networks? She is very distinctive
and it might just narrow down a station I heard earlier today.
Some recordings of today's DX:
1494 Xinjiang RGD 738 Zonghe, Multi-tx 1600 14-11-13

1044 1600 14-11-13
https://app.box.com/s/vysjbplvuk1ira1gk2d4
I think there is an ID on 1044 but it's quite well buried. I suspect
it's the Uighur outlet of Xinjiang RGD, going by the conditions. I
think there was a Kazakh outlet on another frequency, but I can only
guess with some stations.
I moved my flag slightly yesterday. It now points towards 15 degrees
(Google Maps is quite clear it is 14 degrees but I hate to be that
pedantic). Hopefully this will improve DX from the far east. West
coast North America, Alaska and Hawaii should still get through (now
there's wishful thinking!) and perhaps with a little less
interference from the east coasters.
Background noise levels have improved too, surprisingly, and are
down to -120dB in the X band, gradually tapering off to below -130dB
at the bottom of the band. About 3 to 5dB of noise at the top of the
band is caused by my router or its psu. The noise drops to -125 when
the router is switched off.
Good DX!

There was another station in the background playing what sounded like Chinese music. The Chinese music 'seemed' to be the same as that heard on the Taiwan Chü Yuyeh Kuangpo Tientai webstream which I followed for about 15 minutes, but it was too weak to be certain. The dominant Chinese YL was clearly the same as the Xinjiang RGD Uighur webstream which has been a regular visitor.

A welcome return to good North American conditions (at last!) with some mid-western activity. 850 KOA was also tentatively heard at 0400 when 1510 KCKK was audible. In fact there were many stations which got away due to being splattered over or just not quite strong enough to push through the pile-ups. 1230 had a few bits and pieces of audio, including tentative IDs. I could hear ABC News and USA Radio News on 1230 around 0500 and 0600 but any presenter's vocals were obscured by the co-channel mess.
Other curiosities were USA Radio News and CBS News, heard on 1300, as was an echoey of USA Radio News on 1360, both around 0600, indicating two stations.

Geomagnetic activity continues to be quiet and North America is booming in on several channels before local midnight tonight.

A welcome return to good North American conditions (at last!) with some mid-western activity. 850 KOA was also tentatively heard at 0400 when 1510 KCKK was audible. In fact there were many stations which got away due to being splattered over or just not quite strong enough to push through the pile-ups. 1230 had a few bits and pieces of audio, including tentative IDs. I could hear ABC News and USA Radio News on 1230 around 0500 and 0600 but any presenter's vocals were obscured by the co-channel mess.
Other curiosities were USA Radio News and CBS News, heard on 1300, as was an echoey of USA Radio News on 1360, both around 0600, indicating two stations.
