Morning Steve,
I am going to be down south tonight but do you think I could get it out
west.

Wonderful day out here in the desert, the song birds are running their
big fat mouths for all they are worth. Hummingbirds sitting in the
windows and a nice 76 degrees.

Life is wonderful.

Item which may be of some interest from DXLD-4-048:

** TAIWAN. VOICE OF HAN BC LAUNCH SW SERVICE TO CHINA

You can hear Mainland service of Voice of Han BC at 9745 kHz. The
program is parallel to 981, 711, 1431. QTH Kuanyin, 40 km west of
Taipei. Two SW small curtain type antenna were installed. Maybe we can
find another frequency some day. Due to adjancent channel
interference, I have to listen 9745 in USB, bandwidth 1.5 kHz at 1200
UTC; 0655 sign-on and 0105 sign-off (Miller Liu, Taiwan, Receiver: AOR
AR7030plus, ICOM IC-R8500; Antenna: RF SYSTEM 40ft longwire, 100m
random loop, March 12, dxing.info via DXLD) The schedule in local time
UT +8? That would be 2255-1705 UT (gh)

Thanks to the above tip I tuned into a clear 9745 at 1920 UT this
evening (Sun 14 Mar) and heard a monologue in Chinese then song which
I confirmed was "Voice of Han" by checking the Mainland Service online
audio at http://www.voh.com.tw/english/top-e.html (though there is a
time delay). Unfortunately stronger CRI in Esperanto signed-on on 9745
at 1930 but Voice of Han was still audible underneath CRI. VOH much
weaker but in clear after CRI sign-off at 2027.

(Presume this is the station on page 367 of WRTH 2004 as MW channels
etc match, though WRTH calls it Voice of Kuanghua?) When did it start
on shortwave and what power is its transmitter?? (Alan Pennington,
