except for some adjacent splatter. Lovely clean audio with a call-in show.
The woman announcer reminds me a lot of Myra Oh, the RNZI co-host of their
Mailbox program. Most callers are young people, and some dating advice was
dispensed! I can also hear a co-channel weakly underneath. Callers were
from a girl's school. 'Five minutes left' at 14:55. Faded a bit by the
TOH, but with less adjacent splatter. Left the air at 15:01 and carrier
cut about 15 to 20 seconds later.

In China, greater prosperity and the availability of low cost radio
receivers is leading to an explosive growth of a new hobby for them,
DXing. Chinese DXers are now actively reporting local radio stations on
shortwave, mediumwave and FM, and the stations are responding with
detailed confirmations and QSL cards.
As most of this new activity occurs within the bounds of China and the
Chinese language, it is hard to gauge how big the new phenomenon really
is, but it does have a potential for introducing millions of new listeners
and DXers to the world of international radio broadcasting. Already,
western shortwave stations are noting a greater flow of reception reports
from inside China, despite the current jamming of a wide range of foreign
broadcasts.
It is also easy to underestimate the fascination that shortwave radio
continues to hold for listeners in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
Although advancing technology jumping enables many to hear the new
commercial and community FM signals on mobile phones, yet mediumwave and
shortwave still continue to provide the major radio infrastructure for
national radio coverage, and this procedure will continue to do so for the
coming decades. International broadcasters still support local listener
clubs in Southern Asia and thousands of new local FM community stations
are planned across India. And again, shortwave listening and DXing in
several counties of Asia is far more popular than we sometimes realize.
