Die aeltere International und Domestic Station naeher bei Hohot gelegen.
Dieser Standort macht einen recht schmuddeligen Eindruck einer
Industriegegend. Dagegen sieht Juelich oder Wertachtal direkt elegant aus.

CHINA 4220 Reactivation of PBS Qinghai. PBS Qinghai (presumed), random
checks from 1247 to 1509 UT, Nov 1. Reactivated again after being absent
since May 1.
In assume Tibetan with indigenous chanting/singing. Outdated frequency
schedule:
with their main site at
4750, at 1510 UT (after Bangladesh signed off) heard TWO stations. One was
CNR1 and perhaps the weaker station underneath them was the return of PBS
Qinghai? Listening last week after 1500 UT clearly only heard CNR1 and
nothing else. Needs more monitoring. Ironic that I was recently asking
when PBS Qinghai was last heard here.

Thanks to Mauno Ritola (Finland) for his observations today (Nov 1)
regarding the PBS Qinghai reactivation.
4220, with 2 minutes of instrumental music at 2234 UT, then test tone for
five minutes and OC until 2250 UT, when NA and ID in Chinese and English
and then into Tibetan programming. Weak.
4750, carrier on at 2143 UT, but no programming until 2200 UT, so that is
the start time currently, not 2150 UT; Qinghai first announced Beijing
time and then very briefly "Qinghai ..."; CNR1 on 4750.01 and Qinghai
4749.99 kHz.
I appreciate Mauno's confirmation! Very nice to have PBS Qinghai
