Firedrake vs Radio Free Asia 9745 AM 2030 UTC 25 Oct 2017

Firedrake is winning. I haven't heard it recently, usually I hear one of the 57 Chinese shortwave outlets jamming randomly transmitting on the same frequency as an undesired shortwave station.

This one has steadily gained strength in recent weeks. I had logged an unexpectedly strong copy of this one Saturday in July, just scanning 31m without really expecting to find much. My hunch was correct - I seldom heard it again when looking, and if it was there it was very weak. The Firedrake broadcast at 1800-1900 on 11560 was much more likely to be heard here.

Today, this particular broadcast is on the weak side of things again for me. Some Firedrake, absolutely no RFA.
