Hi All - I will try to sort out the current observations.
- since the annexation of Ukraine's lands by Russia (February 2014), both countries are conducting a propaganda war on amateur bands, using military transmitters with a few kW power. The idea is to reach the radio amateurs' environment, and the UA site even conducts chating live.
- During daylight hours, both parties use the FRQ 7055 LSB and either shout over or one of them is not inactive. No identifiers are given - these are not HAMs. Speakers are not professionals, but probably they are employees of propaganda services and nowhere else do they work ("I am an officer" entrusted to UA man).
- FRQ 3731 and 3735 LSB are used in the evening. Leading stations probably use the same transmitters and locations as on 40mb - I recognize the voices of the speakers.
- RU station does not discuss with listeners, but UA talks with HAMs, vulgarly curses, ridicules, criticizes invaders and threatens death.
- there are periods of inactivity of the leading stations, but the HAMs of both sides breathe on themselves and without them. I have also heard UA talks with HAMs from EU.
