Volmets on HF heard in Eastern Australia...
« on: September 24, 2016, 0051 UTC »
Can any one here identify a mystery station from China that appears on 8.806MHz USB around 0850-0915z with a lady recorded on what appears to be a loop message, she mentions "Beijing" and possibly "Fuzhou".  She is speaking in Mandarin, often plus 10dB over here.  This is a maritime frequency but maybe she is doing Volmet?

The following is this weeks logs:

13.282MHz  USB  0748z  VRK Hong Kong Radio, China with Volmet.  5X7 report.
13.282MHz  USB  0744z  JIA New Tokyo Radio, Japan with Volmet. 5X6 report.
13.285MHz  USB  0734z  3UW-33 Guangzhou Radio, China with Volmet, robotic/computer female voice.  5X9 plus 10dB with fade outs.
13.282MHz  USB  0633z  KVM-70 Honolulu Radio with Volmet report, quite a long transmission. 5X4 report.
11.387MHz  USB  0603z  Brisbane Radio, Australia with major airport weather.  5X9 report.
10.051MHz  USB  0756z  VFG Gander Radio, Canada with Volmet. 5X5 report.
8.957MHz   USB  1946z   EIP Shannon Radio, with Volmet.  5X9 report peaking 10dB over.
8.952MHz   USB  0748z   SAM Cordoba Radio, Argentina with Volmet in Spanish, 5X8 report.
8.806MHz   USB  0853z   Unidentified lady in Mandarin language (China) in loop recording, mention of Beijing & Fuzhou, transmission lasts around 30 minutes with breaks.  Any one help? 5X9 plus 10 to 15dB over.
