Posted: 13 Oct 2021 08:00 PM PDT https://vk5pas.org/2021/10/14/china-radio-international-2/

On Saturday evening

(9th October 2021) I did a little bit more short wave
broadcast listening. The first station in my log on Saturday was China
Radio International on 11760 kHz on the 25m band on short wave.
China Radio International

(CRI) is the state-owned international radio
broadcaster of China. It was founded on the 3rd day of December 1941 as
Radio Peking, and in 1983 changed its name to Radio Beijing. On the 1st
day of January 1993 the station changed its name to China Radio
International.


Programs listened to were Selfie which had the story of the chrysanthemum
in China, and Take Away Chinese a Chinese language learning program.
Below is a short video of my reception of China Radio International.

only a few few off the ground.
