copy. Quick scans of 25 and even 31m find no match. At 1158 UT sign-off
announcement I hear a dot tw, and then RTI's complete English schedule
recited, altho cannot make out two separate frequencies and targets for
the 11-12 broadcast. At 1200 UT, 3+1 timesignal, the last one prolonged at
higher pitch, and into Chinese.
Uplooked later, what does HFCC say? NOTHING. Taiwan is a nonentity there
tnx to pressure from the ChiCom, world's largest jammer which should be
banned from HFCC instead. Aoki and EiBi reveal that RTI is supposed to be
on 11715 UT, so that transmitter is malfunxioning. Aoki says site Tainan,
250 kW, 180 degrees. The // is 7445 kHz, which would probably have been
obscured by RNZI 7440 DRM before 1158. Language at 12-13 UT is
specifically Amoy (Hokkein), says Aoki.
At 1205 UT I notice that this scratchy noise is also bothering RNV relay
via Cuba on 11705 kHz, where its own modulation seems OK today. Have I
unjustly criticised that previously, really caused by Taiwan? Maybe.
