China Radio International – 13590 kHz

My first station logged on Friday the 22nd day of October 2021 was China Radio International broadcasting in the English language on 13590 kHz. The broadcast audience was South East Asia.

The overall reception of CRI was excellent. There was some interference on the same frequency, likely to be SOH Xi Wang Zhi Sheng in CHINA in the Chinese language.

SINPO

Below is a video of my reception of CRI on 13590 kHz as heard on my Yaesu FTdx101MP and dipole.
