Shortwave Broadcast / 15740 kHz BBC WS with interference from 15745 kHz presumed China 06 APR 2022
« 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.

If it is the same station, then it is Valley Wave Int.

European Pirates and Private Stations / Mystery Radio 21 4865 AM-WF jammed 1845 UTC 05 Apr 2022

The subject line was :
Mystery 21 4865 kHz waterfall display & jamming 1845 hrs UTC 05 Apr 2022

Waterfall display showing "M21". Jammer at it as well. There was also SSTV earlier on, maybe 1720 hrs UTC when I went out for a walk in the park & some outdoor DXing.

Shortwave Broadcast / 7270 kHz Rockpower from Netherlands 05 Apr 2022 1522 hrs UTC
« on: April 05, 2022, 1523 UTC »
Upto S7 here, continuous music. I have not noticed any presenters or IDs yet.

Edit: Made mistake in title. It was 1522 UTC, not 1622. By 1700 hrs UTC the station went off air maybe because of QRM from nearby powerhouses.

With the summer schedules already underway, some frequency lists have not been updated yet, but hopefully it will be in the next couple of weeks.

I would have been interested to hear the reaction to some Mozart or Beethoven, although the jammer or jammers went back to more modern stuff.
I am not a classical music connoisseur, but I do like listening to some tunes every now & then. It has helped me to sometimes ID some pieces that are played on the radio & TV.

6650 & 6660 are being jammed at the same time  .I have never heard it like this  crazy before. They also went on 6680 to disrupt some other freebanders. Also it sounds like one jammer is trying to outdo another jammer on the same frequency.  :-\

2022 hrs - What a strange way to jam someone by playing Vivaldi's Four Seasons. Also maybe another jammer joining in. Sounds a mess right now. Earlier in the day the freebanders on nearby frequencies were also jammed, nothing new of course for those that monitor this part of the band regularly.

European Pirates and Private Stations / Re: Mystery Radio 21 jammed! 4860 AM 1719 UTC 04 Apr 2022
« on: April 04, 2022, 1831 UTC »
I can hear Mystery 21 a lot better using ECSS-L mode with very little jamming. It seems the jammer is using USB mode, because when I use ECSS-U the jamming is a lot more present. I also see the jamming signal stronger above 4860 kHz.

Maybe Mystery 21? I heard continuous music before with no jamming. Now I hear the jamming clearly as conditions of the band are improving.

Edit: Just been informed by Mystery21 that it is them on 4860 kHz.

A good enough signal here for music, but presumed fishermen on 6284 were causing interference.
