Shortwave Broadcast / Here we go again..... CRN1 Firedrake or Radio Free Asia?

« on: June 09, 2018, 1345 UTC »

Transmission on 15275 KHZ @ 13:26 UTC 9 June 2018 (08:26 CST local 9 June 2018) in Asian dialect.  Male and female announcers.   All conversation, no music.    Its either RFA in Tibetan  from Tajikistan or CNR1 Firedrake Jammer from China.  Both are 250 KW. Both schedule QRT @ 14:00 UTC,  Fair signal but lousy audio due to heavy static crashes (SINPO:2-3-2-2-2).  I'm tempted to ID as RFA as Firedrake is normally just weird tones and music on the jam.
