Hey Don are u in WI? You say Cerrik is where the transmitter is, correct? Right.
Okay yeah CRI on 9570 KHz at the time you heard them, approx 1:00z? For the •Beijing Hour• program! Right! I do copy that quite often! But lately it's been excellent copy on 13740 KHz in the morning.
Cuz what I like is to catch the 13:00z "Chinese Theater" + especially "A Light On Literature"! I catch it every morning but it's sumtimes a struggle...in my apt I can barely hear, altho the SIGNAL meter says it's huge! But it's so damn quiet with fading! My thought was, maybe this is beaming to Canada but...perhaps Western Europe is the target?
Bcuz I catch it all year round and when I'm at my gf's house I can usually pull it in, tweaking the EQs...and frickin headphones!
But that's my fav programming CRI...they're my fav anyway, but especially "A Light On Literature"! Bcuz I was just gonna post about the biography of Chairman Mao Tse-Tung, that is their current featured work...and I just think it's funny bcuz they purposely give MAO a Scottish accent! Haha! I wonder why they decided to make him Scottish? Haha!
In the morn I like 13740 KHz. And 6020 KHz has been pretty strong for me in the evening, USUALLY. ..lately at this time of year BUT...I love the 9570 KHz •CRI• and that freq drives me nuts like I said bcuz it's so faint! But at my gf's house (away from my apt building where there is lots of interference) I can usually pull em in using $20 Panasonic audio headphones.
But yeah--Scottish MAO! Haha. Why? :-D
Mao was a bonny lad...maybe they're going for a •Braveheart• type of image haha!
