9950, Shiokaze (Sea Breeze) via Taiwan, Nov 13, noted on their newest
frequency (ex 9730), *1300 with piano music, in Japanese and/or Korean.
Not heard Nov 14 & 15. On Nov 16 noted weak *1300 but heavy QRM from 9955,
so weak that I could not make out the language. It would seem to need just
the right combination of conditions to hear them here.

9950 UPDATE - Shiokaze Two (Sea Breeze):
Last week I sent an e-mail to Mr. Manabe, updating him on the situation
with CRI on 9730 kHz. Received the following response:
Thank you very much for your information. Regrettable to say, such
situation continued till last week. So we changed to 9950 kHz the last
Saturday [Nov 11]. But, this channel is very weak. China is very random!!
(COMJAN, Chief Director, Sadaki MANABE;
via Ron Howard-USA, via JPNpremium Nov 17)
Today 16th[and 17th too] weak signal on 9950 kHz, otherwise a clear
channel/signal. Was much stronger on 9730 kHz when logged last week.
