Does PBS Xinjiang still use "the east is red" for an interval signal?
Pretty sure I heard it yesterday at 2300 UTC on 7260 kHz in the background.
Not really sure. Seems as though I've heard it in the past few years though on
some broadcast. It certainly was a regular on the Radio Peking broadcasts many
decades ago when everyone had an interval signal, and digital readouts were a
rarity, everyone needed those interval signals to find what station they were
looking for.
Today, its QSO party only. Thanks to the IDIOT who got on 300 Hz away from
me and a buddy and started calling CQ.
