Amateur Radio NewslineT Report 1610 - June 20, 2008
The so-called Firedrake intruder is back on 20 meters. ARRL Field and
Regulatory Correspondent Chuck Skolaut, K0BOG, says that he has received
reports from Intruder Watch monitors in Texas, Montana, West Virginia,
Massachusetts, Colorado, Washington, Nevada and Pennsylvania hearing the
mainland-China based jammer on 14.010 and 14.070 MHz. Hams in IARU Region
1 have heard the jammer on 14.000, 14.005, 14.010, 14.030, 14.050, 14.050
and 14.090 MHz.
According to one Region 1 monitor, the jammer originates from Chinese
government transmitters in an attempt to block out the Sound of Hope short
wave broadcasts. Skolaut said he heard it on 14.070 at 1500 Eastern time
on June 6th from ARRL HQ.
The FCC's High Frequency Direction Finding facility in Columbia, Maryland.
also has heard the Firedrake jammer. It has sent a harmful interference
report to the Chinese government but has no authority to make intruder
stations outside the US to stop transmitting on Amateur Radio frequencies.
Such situations typically are dealt with through diplomatic channels. The
last time the Firedrake jammer was heard in the ham bands was about two
years ago.
