Firedrake scan 0318 to 0338, April 30. Only found two; 12600 // 12970,
both fair. Unusual to find so few!

Firedrake April 30: 15730, fair at 1315, aside Sweden 15735, but what's to
jam on 15730? Today's edition of Aoki does not show anything, except Sound
of Hope on 15750 varies 15700-15795 kHz, so probably jumped here today,
altho supposedly in a break at 1300-1400 UT between Tajikistan and
Uzbekistan sites.
13100, fair at 1310
12600, good at 1310
10440, good at 1318 with het from something, ute?
10300, poor at 1318, much weaker than 10440, why?
Not found anywhere else 8-19 MHz, not even 8400 at 1323. Former regular
spot 9000 has not been heard for several weeks.
Firedrake May 1:
10240, good at 1320, unusual frequency
10440, equally good at 1320
12600, fair at 1326
12960, good at 1326, not on 12970 or 12950 today.
13970, good at 1326
None others found 8-19 MHz.
However, checking 15540 kHz at 1332 UT I hear weak CNR1 jamming // much
stronger 15285 and 15265 kHz; nothing else audible on 15540 kHz, so I
wonder if V. of Tibet's expanded broadcast is really contracted now out of
this timeslot. But unlike their teeny weeny DentroCuban comrades, the
ChiCom are pretty astute at avoiding jamming against nothing, even if we
can't hear the victim.
And at 1434 UT I find a poor and fluttery CNR1 on 17560 // 15285 kHz. This
is to jam V. of Tibet due northeast from MADAGASCAR at 1400-1430, unheard.
As of today this VOT broadcast is at 1400-1430 UT only, ex 1330-1430 UT.

today May 3rd came back on this music sound instead of echo word jamming.

15-18 KHBN Palau, 7355 against TWN, 11700 18-20 Tinian, 13625 17-22 Tinian.
17560 Mandarin echo talk jamming against VoTibet Madagascar, latter which
