Title: 15740 kHz BBC WS with interference from 15745 kHz presumed China 06 APR 2022
Post by: Mad Radio DXer UK on April 06, 2022, 1355 UTC
BBC World Service moved frequency from 15735 to 15740 kHz not long ago to avoid QRM from nearby stations. Now they are getting interference from a strong & wide signal on 15745 kHz which I presume is CRI, as it is in Chinese language with typical powerhouse reception. I cannot find any listing saying what this is on 15745 kHz, but must be CRI.

Edit: Transmission on 15745 kHz ended at 1400 hrs UTC with time pips, which is typical of CNR1. Maybe they were jamming a random Sound Of Hope transmission.

Edit: Seems it was CNR1 jamming Radio Free Asia in Tibetan language. Eventually found out on ShortwaveSchedule.com.

BBC moved this broadcast to 15740 on the first day of the A22 transmission season (March 27, 2022).  Sorry to hear about your jamming interference  :-\, never experienced it here on this side of the pond with any of the new transmissions.

April 7

1358 Reception very good - closing out first hour of Newshour, upcoming programs, BBC lenghty ID/Commercial, timepips
1400 News headlines

13:15 UTC 07 FEB 2022 - BBC is weak but readable with fading again this morning on 15740.0 kHz. As noted by Mad Radio DXer, CNR1 (presumed) on 15745.0 kHz is at times over-powering and bleeding into the BBC broadcast. The transmission on 15745.0 kHz has yet to show up in any of the schedules.

I first noted this in the following thread:
BBC 15740 AM 1300 UTC 28 MAR 2022 - Frequency change for A22
