Rich, 9885 has VOA Spanish at 2300, which is jammed by Cuba. If you only heard chirping, you were lucky as usually here it`s a wall of noise. Theory is that just one Cuban jammer puts out pulses which are individually detectable like that, while if you are getting a bunch of them, they merge together, overlapping. Ask Arnie? You might time how many chirps you hear per minute as I have done in some of my monitoring of Cuban jamming. In this case probably what we also refer to as bubbling.
As soon as VOR started using 9890, I complained about what a poor frequency choice it was, right next to Cuban jamming and VOA. Now they`ve added 7440 (via Ukraine apparently) from 0000, but deeper into the summer noise level. 73, Glenn Hauser, OK --- On Sun, 6/13/10, Richard Brock <[email protected]> wrote: > At 2259 UTC on 9890 > KHZ I tuned to VOR World Service.
