Signal is 8/10 on the meter with the 30ish feet of wire in a tall tree. I have heard about these weird broadcasts, only Chinese instrumental music from 2300-0000 UTC with an announcement at 2358 UTC in Portuguese. As far as I know this is the only music-only program on CRI. Curious if they really have people listening to this is Brazil (the target area), or anywhere. I personally enjoy it but the only other time I have heard about this specific program was someone complaining about it in the Worldwide DX Club News and calling it something like "the pointless Chinese elevator music broadcast I often complain about".

0000 UTC-Time pips cut off, TX still on but no audio

Careful w/ those "Chinese Elevator Music" comments. I've heard Chinese covers of "Hey Jude" and "Fly Me To The Moon" w/ "Engrish" lyrics that were quite entertaining. Perfect for have a a meal of Kung Pow Chicken or Mongolian Pork with.

That wasn’t me saying that, that was a quote from the Worldwide DX Club publication.

This appears to be the same program again. Why broadcast the same program repeatedly? I will continue to monitor and see if it is always the same, or just today. Just a note because I know someone will ask, this is NOT the Firedrake jammer (different music and from a relay in Cuba).

Looks like this is the programming of all CRI in Portuguese? The two frequencies scheduled for now are 6100 & 9710 kHz (both direct from China) and they are carrying the same music programing.
