Shortwave Broadcast / Re: 15340 SOH relay RFA 1630 UTC May 25 2024
« Last post by Ron - Calif. on Today at 02:15 »A reminder:
Actually it is relatively easy to ID an UNID Chinese station that you think may be jamming SOH, RFA, etc. Item number 1 below is the easiest, positive confirmation if the UNID is in fact CNR1 or SOH. Perhaps my other suggestions will also help? Ron (May 26, 2024)
Identifying Sound of Hope (Taiwan) vs CNR-1 jamming Sound of Hope (SOH): http://bdxc.org.uk/asiapac.pdf [pg. 18]
For me, it has always been fun trying to tie down if a station heard is really a Sound of Hope reception or just the CNR-1
program jamming. Here are a few suggestions, based on my years of observations:
1) One positive way is to listen at the top-of-the-hour. CNR-1 programming always has time pips, while SOH never has any.
2) Find a known CNR-1 frequency, that is to say a non-jamming frequency (I use 6125 kHz.), then check to find if it
is // to the station in question.
3) SOH is a religious station, so has a more refined format. At ToH usually has news and then a lot of monologues. Rather
rare to hear music. While the CNR-1 format is fairly contemporary; many short segments; often with music; in general has
a much more upbeat format than SOH.
4) After many years of listening to SOH, I find their audio slightly muffled; not a lot, just enough to be noticeable, especially
when compared to the crisp audio of CNR-1.
5) It is not uncommon for SOH to be slightly off-frequency; while CNR-1 is on the exact frequency (xx.00).
6) Finally, if the station in question has fair to good reception, it almost certainly is CNR-1 jamming. SOH stations use rather low
power, hence fair-good reception would be extremely rare.
7) If you are fortunate enough to actually hear SOH, their top-of-the-hour ID is "Xiwang zhi sheng guoji guangbo diantai" (Sound
of Hope international broadcast station), given twice (once by OM and once by YL), then into the news. My audio of a typical ToH
SOH ID format is posted at https://app.box.com/s/kk142tja5d42nbkcvq7zvqqqokhtmfzi .

« Last post by BigAl on Today at 00:56 »00:52 - Dickweed broadcasting sans clothes this evening apparently - taking clothes off because running both transmitter AND air conditioner triggers the power breaker, so gotta chose between AC and transmitter. HEY, LONG LIVE NAKED PIRATE RADIO!
Leeches by Suzie True S8-9 signal here and very listenable despite the lightning crashes and...mental images of DJDW right now. Thanks for the show nude dude
Maybe started a new summer pirate radio fad
