THE CHINESE MUSIC JAMMER

A broadcaster devoted to frenetic Chinese classical music or a jammer? You be the judge! No ID, no voice-over, nuthin' but Chinese music!

The Chinese Music Jammer was first heard in January of 2002. 

Transmissions:
  Chinese instrumental folk music / Chinese instrumental music - "Dragon Dance"
  - Special nonstop compilation. 
  - Loop playback from hard drive. 
  - Duration of 1 cycle - 1hr 00 min 00.2 sec
  - 1st or 2nd program of Chinese National Radio.

Jamming modulation:
  (a) Programs of China National Radio in non-distorted AM mode for 
      long distance high power (100-500 kW) sky-wave operation. 
  (b) Programs of China National Radio in Narrow FM - mostly for local
      (ground-wave) operation.

- Most suitable time for reception in Europe: from 1600 to 0900 UTC.

- Chinese musical jamming is targeted at Radio Free Asia, Voice of 
  America, BBC, Deutsche Welle, Falun Dafa and other stations. 
  
Notes:
  Usually between 30% and 80% of the used frequencies may be heard 
  in Europe at the same time. The frequency that propagated best in
  Europe during July 2002 was 15680 kHz: daily from 1400 to 2200 UTC. 

  You may hear 1, 2 or more jamming transmitters on the same frequency
  at the same time.
