According to web sources, it's a utilities site also used for the three SWtransmitters used by V of Pujiang. Two frequencies are beamed roughlysouth to Taiwan, and one more SW towards Hong Kong, which seems to fitwith the antennas visible on G.E. it looks like one small curtain ordipole+reflector, and a couple of log-periodics.(Alan Davies-INS, SW TXsite Dec 1, 2009)

CHINA/AUSTRALIA/U.K./USA China jamming broadcasts from BBC, VOA andRadio Australia.

[so maybe it's temporary for the ChiCom succession gh]

"Censorship" campaign blocks BBC in China.Ben Webster, Media Editor and Leo Lewis in Beijing.Published on February 26, 2013 London The Times.

The BBC World Service has been blocked in China in what appears to be anintensification of the Government's censorship campaign as it approachesthe climax of its once-a-decade transition of top Communist Party leaders.

The BBC is among several broadcasters affected by short-wave jamming, butis the only one to have gone public. It identified some jamming of WorldService English frequencies in November but this month found that it hadintensified.

Three quarters of 134 frequencies in China checked on February 13 were

jammed. The "co-ordinated" effort made it likely that a well-resourcedcountry such as China was the source of signals, the BBC said.

Peter Horrocks, director of BBC Global News, said: "The jamming ofshortwave transmissions is being timed to cause maximum disruption to BBCWorld Service English broadcasts in China. The deliberate and co-ordinatedefforts by authorities in countries such as China and Iran illustrate thesignificance and importance of the role the BBC undertakes to provideimpartial and accurate information to audiences around the world."

7/29/2019 WWDXC 5-Mar-13

12/40

The BBC said it was "working with UK authorities to identify the origin ofthe jamming signals".

Chinese authorities have already blocked the websites of Bloomberg Newsand The New York Times in China after they published stories thatembarrassed China's leaders. Other organisations, including The WallStreet Journal, have recently said they have been victims of hacking, withChina as the prime suspect.

There are less than two weeks to go before the National People's Congressformally installs Xi Jinping as the country's next President.

The 10-day parliament is a moment of critical importance for Beijing andone which the authorities are anxious will pass without incident.

One of the key fears is the continuing campaign of self-immolations byethnic Tibetans protesting against rule by Beijing. The burnings passed agrim milestone earlier this month with the 100th person to set themselveson fire.

Despite its history of interference with foreign media, and blockage ofentire Western news websites within China, jamming of the BBC's Englishservice is unusual.

BBC sources said they were surprised because the World Service in Englishhas a low number of listeners within China. That suggests that Beijing'sdrive is more broadly focused and may be targeting short-wave radio as ameans of communication between Tibetan groups outside China and protestersinside the country.

In common with other broadcasters whose news services are shown in China,BBC World is subject to regular interference - the notorious "blackscreen" that descends whenever there is coverage of a topic that Beijingdeems too sensitive.

The most common triggers for the black screens are stories about Tibet,anything that mentions or includes images of the Dalai Lama and news abouthigh-profile dissidents. Stories about pollution and poverty are allowedto run, but significant instances of civil unrest and anything toocritical of the top Communist Party leadership are black screened.

The BBC has responded to interference in the past by winding down itsChinese language website and Chinese language version of the WorldService. Both are understood to have been the targets of jamming orinternet blocking by Beijing.

The Chinese language version of the website was allowed to run freely

during the 2008 Beijing Olympics when the eyes of the world were on Chinabut after the athletes and the crowds left China, censorship began inearnest.

BBC Persian transmissions in Iran have been jammed in recent years andbroadcasts during the political unrest in Egypt. The Soviet Union wasbelieved to have blocked BBC broadcasts during the Cold War.

CHINA [non] Voice of Tibet 7557 / 7547 kHz at 1330-1400 UT.Typical procedure from a few days of listening:

1330 VOT signing on on 7557 kHz, seems to be only in Chinese.7557 kHz has a co-channel strong digital UTE.

1331 Buzzer jammer starting with center frequency on 7555 kHz.1333 Firedrake jammer starting on 7555 kHz.1342 VOT switching to 7547 kHz.

The switch is momentary, i.e. with no carrier break.1344 Buzzer off 7555 kHz.1345 Firedrake off 7555 kHz.1347 Buzzer back, now on 7545 kHz.1348 Firedrake back, now on 7545 kHz.1400 all transmitters off within seconds.

All times area somewhat variable.

The Buzzer is a new type of jamming introduced by the Chinese a few monthsago and now becoming more widespread. The signal is DSB with no carrierand the audio is of the squarewave type with maximum audio strength about+/- 2.5 kHz from the suppressed carrier. Just as the buzzer starts it hasa second or two of only carrier.

I have no idea whether the buzzers are refitted voice/music jammers or area new generation specifically made for the purpose. Anyhow, they areprobably the result of the new harder line government that recently tookoffice. Apparently the Chinese transmitters are tunable only in 5 kHzsteps and the VOT people make use of this by using offset channels.(Olle Alm-SWE, 4 March; via wwdxc BC-DX TopNews)

Better enjoy this bigsig from NHK English while you can (and if you canget it, the other GUF relay at 1200 UT on 15190 kHz), since in A-13, NHKplans to *abandon North America* with no more broadcasts to here inEnglish or even Japanese. Various other relays will still be used to otherworldparts, but not GUF, which only WYFR wanted to employ for a few hoursto LAm, but that's not enough to keep it financially viable; so apparentlyMontsinery is to follow in the footsteps of Sackville and Bonaire, beclosed down. NHK will still try to reach Latin America from Franceinstead.(Glenn Hauser-OK-USA, dxld Febr 27)

Rumour: Closure of Montsinery-GUF.See below. For now I call it a rumour since I have not heard otherwise ofsuch a development, instead heard that at the Wertachtal plantpreparations were under way to set up a remote control for both Issoudunand Montsinery, as already in place for Nauen.

Btw, one of the two Wertachtal transmitter halls has been closed at theend of the A12 season, instead of closing Nauen altogether. I understandthat hereby all 70s vintage transmitters have been withdrawn from service,

leaving only the S 4005 rigs originally installed there, the ones moved infrom Zeewolde ("Flevoland"), the S 4001 transmitters moved in from Juelichand, I think, also the single RIZ transmitter that has, under a"Telefunken S 4050" designator, been installed as prototype for amodernization that never took plavce because, as well known, DeutscheWelle instead terminated its use of the site at yearend 2006.

"Hello All, Please consider the following as a non-official information.As far as I know:

- G3 DRM transmitter is currently out of order with lack of spare parts,

- Montsinery SW transmitting station is supposed to close down by the endof March 2013 due to lack of program providers. - Bad news!(73's Jacques F6AJW"(Kai Ludwig-D, SW TX site / dxld Febr 22)

GERMANY Re 7375 kHz. IMO, much richer, full audio than Bulgariatransmitter.Kinda funny, at least to me. Eric would say, "We're using an old Russiantransmitter. If the wind is blowing in the right direction...".

Let's see ... Nauen is in the old East Germany. Probably old RBItransmitter. GDR probably Soviets. So, once again the Mighty KBC, or asI've now heard "KBC International" is probably still using a Russian

transmitter.(Kraig-VA-USA KG4LAC, dxld March 3)

Re: Mighty KBC 7375 kHz no show.It's indeed the antenna featured on this stamp

However, it is not the original East Berlin made (not Russian made, thisapplied to Koenigs Wusterhausen SW site, shut down in 1993, and two of thethree original 500 kW rigs at Nauen, shut down in 1997) transmitter. Ithas finally been closed and scrapped in 2000 after being used up untilthen by both DW and RNW.

Instead it's now a West Berlin made transmitter by TELEFUNKEN from theeighties, in 2006 moved in from DTK Juelich site to revive this antennabecause it would have been a shame to let it rust away. This way thetransmitter of course escaped the decline of the complete Juelich SWstation.(Kai Ludwig-D, dxld March 3)

KOREA D.P.R. NORTH Some of the Kujang transmitters are having acrosstalk problem. On 7570/12015 kHz a second audio signal and a jammingsignal are heard in the background. The same problem seems to affect twoother transmitters, which have the audio of the first two in thebackground and whose audio is the background audio of the first two.

The jamming signal is synchronous with the 6349/6360/6480 kHz group ofjammers. These seven transmitters thus must have something in common, likea shared transmitter hall or antenna field.(Olle Alm-SWE, 4 March; via wwdxc BC-DX TopNews)

noted three fixed frequency jammers on 6060, 6360 and 6480 kHz. During midwinter propagation they could be heard in continuous operation from before0800 until past 2300 UT. During this time they did jam something only fora few odd hours, the rest being wasted output.

MONGOLIA Voice of Mongolia Video.A few months ago I videoed the Voice of Mongolia shortwave antenna farm atKhonhor, a town 30 km to the south east of Ulan Bator. The video was takenwhile traveling on the train from Beijing, a 30 hour journey. The railwayloops around the transmitter site, almost completing a full circle. Thevideo includes a close up pass of the antennas, passing through theKhonhor township and then the railway once again loops to show a finalview of the antennas with the town in the foreground.

PORTUGAL Die fruehere Sendestation der Deutschen Welle in Monte Mudosuedoestlich von Sines (Portugal) ist bis Ende 2012 abgerissen worden.Zurueck blieben lediglich die bis zum Rohbauzustand entkernten Gebaeude.Es ist nicht absehbar, ob sie nochmals einer Nutzung zugefuehrt oderspaeter endgueltig beseitigt werden.

Die von der Deutschen Welle mit dem Abbruch der Station beauftragte Firmavernichtete deren gesamte technische Ausruestung. Nach Angaben desportugiesischen Beobachters Carlos Goncalves wurden die Sender mit allemZubehoer an Ort und Stelle, teilweise unter Einsatz von Baggern innerhalbdes Sendersaals, zerstoert und die Truemmer als Schrott abtransportiert.Die noch verbliebenen Mitarbeiter der Pro-Funk GmbH haetten sich im Bueroin Sines aufgehalten, waehrend sich der Auftragnehmer in Monte Mudo "umalles kuemmerte".

Carlos Goncalves bemerkt zu diesem Vorgehen, es sei ein Musterbeispielfuer den verantwortungslosen Umgang mit Sachwerten, die vom deutschenSteuerzahler finanziert wurden. Man koenne sich gar nicht vorstellen, wiewuetend ihn das mache. Die betreffende Sendetechnik war erst 2000 in

Betrieb gegangen und ersetzte seinerzeit die urspruenglichen, seit derEroeffnung der Station im Jahre 1970 genutzten Anlagen. Hintergrund warenHoffnungen auf kuenftige digitale Sendungen auf Kurzwelle, die sich jedochnicht bewahrheiteten. Daher stellte die Deutsche Welle 2011 grosse Teileihres Hoerfunkangebots ein, was auch die Schliessung der Sendestation beiSines nach sich zog.(Carlos Goncalves 5.2., Kai Ludwig 6.2.2013; ntt Dr. Hansjoerg Biener)

RUSSIA The "buzzer", 4625 kHz.

This one is again producing spurs on the higher side. This has happenedseveral times before, so the transmitter probably has served its usefullife. The signal of the buzzer is USB plus carrier, the carrier sometimesbeing reduced.

Today it emits about 20 buzzes per minute. Years ago it was 59 bpm. Inyesterday's short buzzes the basic audio frequency was increased slightlyduring each buzz, like so called chirp radar. In today's longer buzzes thebasic audio frequency varies slightly up and down with three or four suchperiods in each buzz. A few months ago there was a period when the pitchwas much higher than what we normally hear. I do not know if this wasintentional or caused by a faulty feeder circuit.

RUSSIA/AUSTRALIA 21800 - Seemingly - the powerful Voice of Russiaforeign service station Irkutsk of 21800 kHz produces some SPURIOUSradiations in range 21169 to 22353.3 kHz.

Scheduled 0600-1000z on 21800 Irkutsk which isS=9+20dB strongest of the three Russian outlets in downunder Brisbane,21820 kHz Novosibirsk Oyash;and also 21840 kHz at 0700-0900z from Novosibirsk Oyash.

Spurious signals noted at very sensitive remote SDR unit in BrisbaneAustralia owned by Neil,but could also be a bad mixture on the antenna unit amplifier like ghostsignals in Australia.

There are almost all local remote Perseus units contain noise siggnals.Someone had contact with Brisbane. There is a buzzing adjacent plasma TVin-device. This structure of local intruder signals only seen at higherresolution, for example on Wavecom unit sonogram.

On 21169.5 21317 21465.5 21613 21761.5 kHzand on upper flank on 22057 22205.5 22353.5 kHz.(wb, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Febr 21)

Re: Spurious radiation on 21169.5 and 21317 kHz."... Avec les SDR que nous avons, le plus agreable a utiliser reste lePerseus, (!!) c'est mon prefere, mais attention a l'intermodulation avec

antenne logper!

Attenuation 20 a 30 dB necessaire...."!

"With SDRs that we have, the most pleasant to use is the Perseus (!). Ismy favorite, but attention intermodulation with antenna LogPer!

20 to 30 dB attenuation required .... "!

Stimmt, habe ich auch schon bemerkt. An unserer Logper habe ich fix 3dB

drin, 6, 10 oder gar 20dB dB sind in den Nachtstunden oft zusaetzlichzuzuschalten. Wenn die Summenspannung einer Breitbandantenne zu grosswird, ist Intermodulation kaum zu vermeiden. Will man das eliminieren,helfen wohl nur scharfe Bandpassfilter, wie man sie heute kaum noch(bezahlbar) bekommt, wie z.B. von Braun.

Es gibt auf fast allen Perseusen lokale Stoersignale. Mit Brisbane hatteich schon Kontakt. Dort brummt ein benachbartes Plasma TV-Geraet herein.Die tatsaechliche Struktur der lokalen Intruder zeigt sich erst beihoeherer Aufloesung, z.B. im Wavecom Sonagramm.(73 de Wolf Hadel-D DK2OM, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Febr 21)

SRI LANKA Die staatliche Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation wird fuerKurzwellensendungen kuenftig ausschliesslich die Sendeanlagen beiTrincomalee an der Nordostkueste des Landes nutzen. Die Sendestation Ekalabei Colombo soll bis zum 1. April 2013 ihren Betrieb einstellen.

Das Ende der Kurzwellenstation wurde absehbar, als sich die Deutsche Welleim Zusammenhag eines massiven Abbaus ihrer Sendungen im Oktober 2011 vonder Sendestation Pekara bei Trincomalee verabschiedete und sie im Januar2012 an die SLBC uebergab. Die Grossstation wurde 1982 in Betrieb genommenund verfuegt ueber eine Mittelwellenanlage (1548 kHz, 400 kW) fuer

Suedasien sowie drei Kurzwellensender zuzueglich eines Reservesendersaelterer Bauart, die ueber eine grosse Antennenanlage Zielgebiete in einemBogen von Nord- und Ost-Afrika bis Ost- und Suedostasien versorgenkoennen. Die Station ist sogar DRM-tauglich, fuer den Fall, dass sich dieneue digitale Uebertragungsart doch noch durchsetzt. All India Radiojedenfalls ist gehalten, diese Technik kuenftig zur Landesversorgungeinzusetzen.

Das Problem ist, dass Trincomalee viel staerker genutzt werden muesste alsseit dem Rueckzug der Deutschen Welle, um sinnvoll betrieben zu werden.

Glenn, I was wondering the same, as I haven't heard 'DXing with Cumbre' onSW for years. Lo and behold, I came across them last night at (I think)0300 UT on 7315 kHz (UT Sunday). Obviously a bit slow on the rpm, as hisvoice was noticeably lower and slower than normal. The last few episodesI've downloaded have been nothing but filler music after a Pirating withCumbre segment.
