Even more great conditions to the far east!

Thanks to the guys at Real DX for listening to my recordings I have bagged a few goodies this afternoon. For a while now I have been wondering what the little top of the hour jingle ID is I sometimes hear on 891. When I heard the same jingle today on 1017 and 1296 I had to do some further investigation. After posting my recording of the jingle, Mika and Mauno replied to confirm the jingle belonged to the BCC in Taiwan.

So I found a web stream of the BCC News Network and recorded their top of the hour. This was what I heard: https://app.box.com/s/audoygm2f8rdqy2lzk8z Note that cute little jingle. It penetrates the noise well in the same way a weak CW signal would. Now get your headphones on (you may need them) and listen to my recordings of the same jingle on 891, 1017 and 1296 respectively: https://app.box.com/s/2nsg32mkbluy8qk4yhsc Tricky, but clearly(ish ;O) the same jingle. Luckily, there is only one BCC Network station on each of the three frequencies. 819 and 1296 are the same site too.

Going back to the power interruptions which affected my 1700 file from the 25th, I discovered that Rapidshare still accept large file size uploads, which is a good job as this one is over a GB in size! This is the link - http://rapidshare.com/share/12BCF0A09A9E01C795EF45EA2676AEEB if anybody wants to listen to the file.

Finally, does anybody know where the TWR site is on 1287? I don't see this listed.

Good DX!
