Surprise surprise… this afternoon all of a sudden I received 4 DSC messages from Guangzhou Radio on 2187.5 kHz. Two were not properly decoded, but two definitely were. I heard them confirming tests from tanker XIANG DA YOU 16 on the Bohai Sea, and container ship HUA HANG 1 on the East China Sea.

Guangzhou is a station I receive frequently on 8, 12 and 16 MHz, and I got a QSL for one of my receptions. But after Bangkok Radio it is only the 2nd Far East station I received on 2 MHz.
