Spanisch pops giving phonenumber for listeners to call. After 2330 UT ads
followed by ID as "radio universitaria la mejor opci¢n" at 2334. Although
the signal went of for around 3 minutes it was good and improoved during
listening. SIO: 343 (Jan 19 2008)

CHINA [and non]. BBCWS broadcasts in Uzbek twice a day, for half an hour
on each occasion. The Chinese jam the service, as they do not want the
Uzbek-speaking minority in western China to tune in. In addition to the
commonly-heard Firedrake or Firedragon jamming (continuous "crash-bang"
Chinese music), I was very interested to hear what appeared to be a
regular Chinese station being used for the jamming. This allows the
Chinese to claim that the jamming is just "accidental" interference.
However, they give the game away by only putting on the interference for
the exact 30-minute duration of the BBC Uzbek broadcasts!! I also heard a
similar Chinese programme being used to jam the BBC's Mandarin service and
the Falun Gong station from Taiwan, Sound of Hope.
But I'm pleased to say that the jamming was far from being fully
effective. SOH in particular came in quite well. The Chinese would be
better off using an old Soviet white-noise jamming signal (or even DRM!),
but then they wouldn't be able to keep pretending that they were not
jamming.
