Nick and Bruce, Thanks for your comments on the 1566 signal. Nick, I also noted the nosedive in HLAZ's signal after 1300, along with the mystery interference. The high band Asians in general tapered off after 1300 here, with weaker signals on 1575 and 1593 also fizzling out. As for the

Listened from 1310 until around 13:50 when some T-Storms started popping up within 100 miles or so. What was fascinating (and this was likely coincidental) was while watching the NHP fish barrel and hearing a couple of regional lightning crashes - the "pattern" on the FB took an almost instant

Re: [IRCA] New Chinese Pulse-Type Jammer on 1566?

No time to really DX right now Gary, but I did check at 1300UT, and there wasn't anything untoward heard here on 1566 at that time. There were a couple of other weaker carriers with a few Hertz of HLAZ, and HLAZ' audio dropped like a stone right across the hour, so Murphy was hard at work.

[IRCA] New Chinese Pulse-Type Jammer on 1566?

Heard for the first time this morning was a new type of pulsing jammer on 1566-HLAZ's signal (at 1300 UTC), which obviously wasn't part of the Japanese service programming (fading in and out at different times than HLAZ). Has anyone else noticed this?
