SINPO= 45444 right now. I hear it here for the first time. It's interesting, who is being jammed on 6970?

SOB's better get off of my frequency or there's gonna be trouble. I didn't pay 50 cents for that rock for nothin'. >:(

The IDF's shortwave service floats around that area. I've heard them as low as 6970 all the way to 6985 on the high end,but they're mostly around the 6973 khz they list as their frequency.

I'm not aware of any big tensions between China and Israel at the moment,though?

FWIW, Israel moved from 6973 to 6885 several months ago.
