(Carlos Goncalves-POR, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Apr 18) CHINA No jamming on April 21. Clear Day. Last night I also noted that all FD stations were taking the same program as were all Chinese networks. yesterday was a Day of Remembrance throughout the PRC for the Qinghai earthquake. I copied the same program on 10300, 10420, 11100, 11590 (best strength) and 13610. It wasn't SOH Scott. This was at 1215-1259 on April 21 same as monitored it on 13970 kHz. Further to the earlier post about the common program transmitted at 1215 to 1259 UT on the April 21, I am pretty certain that it was related to Qinghai Earthquake Memorial . The announcers were solemn and there were actualities of trucks and people shouting in distance, probably from Qinghai or nearby. There was no music except I did hear some children singing but pretty sure it was not in Chinese. Frequencies monitored were 10300, 10420 (both were weak), 11100 and 11590 kHz. 13610 kHz also carried it but was not in parallel. 11100 kHz used to be a regular many years back. I recollect hearing a similar all-network feed during the Szechuan earthquake in 2008. (Robin Harwood-AUS VK7RH, dxld Apr 22) Chinese station relayed special broadcast of CNR-1 by all broadcast as a "Day of the Qinghai Earthquake condolence" on April 21. The jamming was only CNR-1 in substitution for Firedrake, too. Firedrake revived at 2305 UT on April 21. (de Hiroshi; via Sei-ichi Hasegawa-JPN NDXC Apr 22) Replacement of Firedrake by CNR1 jamming on April 21 has been explained by Sei-ichi Hasegawa and Robin Harwood as due to the anniversary of the Qinghai earthquake. Apparently the ChiCom felt it would be inappropriate to jam with such lively music on such a sad occasion. Of course this does not make the jamming any less evil. Now on April 22 it's back to Firedrake as the audio source: at 1310 fair on 10970 but none of the other '970s. at 1405, 13970 has an open carrier with het, flutter, and FD cuts on at 1405:45. At 1408 FD also on 13300 about the same level as 13970. At 1409 also on 12950. 1411 on 10300 and stronger 10440 kHz.

Holy Tibet in English via CNR-11 1400-1430 6010, 7350, 9480 0500-0530 9530, 11685, 15570 The schedule of Tibet PBS is not changed.

Yesterday heard Holy Tibet from 1630-1700 UTC on 594, 4905, 4920, 6110, 6130, 6200 kHz. I have not checked other frequencies, as I preferred to listen it on 594 kHz MW with good reception as there was a local power cut at that time.

(de Hiroshi; via Sei-ichi Hasegawa-JPN NDXC Apr 15) On April 19th at 1700/1800 there was a lot of ERI/ETH activity on 6170, 7090, 7095, 7100, 7110, 7165, 7175, 7185, 7210. Not all on the air at the same time of course. 5950 had two HOA stations at the same time. Apr 20th check at 1730 showed things calmed, only usual listed stations on the air. [later] We've been monitoring with Mauno since yesterday Apr 19. Eritrea has now three transmitters in parallel on this frequency range. One basically on 7185, may jump to 7175 at times. The one usually on 7175 jumps to 7165 when jammed. Third one was yesterday on 7140, today on 7120, unjammed so far. I guess fourth transmitter is still on 7210 carrying home service. (Jari Savolainen-FIN, dxld April 20) Eritrea on 7185 kHz. To add to this: my friends in the region note that Ethiopia is now also intermittently jamming 7210 kHz, either with noise (e.g. at 1700 UT) or with a relay of Voice of the Tigray Revolution (e.g. at 0400 UT). No doubt this is related to the Ethiopian elections on 23 May, and follows the resumption of jamming of the VOA. [later] This evening (21 April), Eritrea has dodged the jamming on 7210 by moving to 7220 kHz, a move the Ethiopians seem to have missed so far.
