The Voice of America is currently using its Tinang, Philippines site for a broadcast in Chinese beginning at 2100 UTC on 9535 kHz.<\/p>\n

Here are 2 recordings of their sign-on with English ID and Yankee Doodle, one using a Kiwi SDR in Athens, Greece, and another using a Kiwi SDR in Taiwan (closer to the target area).<\/p>\n

The signal starts out OK around 2157 with a test tone prior to Yankee Doodle, but seems to suffer from QRM from a co-channel station signing on after a minute or so. CRI is listed as using 9535 at other times, but perhaps this is a deliberate attempt to make the reception of VOA “uncomfortable”?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
