CHINA "Chinese jamming and monitoring station".
China jams Chinese/Tibetan/etc programs of SOH (Sound of Hope), VOA, RFA,
BBC, AIR and so on. There are two types of jamming: "Firedrake_ (musical
jamming) and CNR-1. They use both firedrake and CNR-1 to jam the in-band
broadcast, while only Firedrake is used to jam off-band program such as
SOH. Based on monitoring by NDXC members and directional analysis, jamming
come from multiple sites _ there is no site used for jamming only.
Thanks to mis-transmission and directional analysis, we found that some
transmitters in Hainan, Xian, Qiqihar and Kunming are used for jamming.
The jamming is "controlled_ by Radio Control Bureau of SARFT _ The State
Administration of Radio, Film and Television_, and the jamming is
monitored by Radio/TV monitoring stations _ one of the monitoring station
(#573 monitoring station) is located north of Beijing. It is reported that
Radio/TV monitoring stations are also located in Shanghai, Xinjiang,
Hainan and Heilonjiang.
The details of Radio/TV monitoring stations are unknown since official
documents on China Radio/TV do not mention about such monitoring stations.
It has been long believed that jamming was controlled by Army and/or
Communist Party. Thus it is quite interesting that jamming is controlled
by "underground" organization of SARFT.
