[BC] Assistance Wanted to ID Illegal Broadcaster

[N0JAA@aol.com]

To the list,

Your help is requested (especially if you are also a ham radio 
operator) to identify a shortwave station broadcasting illegally on 
the 20-meter amateur radio band.

We're not yet aware of the station's location, but this station plays 
traditional Chinese music on or around 14.260 MHz.  This broadcast 
disrupts legal communications for 10 to 15 kHz on either side of the 
carrier frequency.  As of now, we don't know if the station is a 
pirate transmitter or a shortwave broadcaster that has a MAJOR tuning problem.

The station does not appear to follow a set schedule and has appeared 
in various places in the 20-meter band.

We're hoping to garner enough information to enlist the aid of the 
ITU if this is a shortwave broadcaster, or the FCC if this turns out 
to be a pirate station.

Please send any reports you may have to the ARRL 
(<http://www.arrl.org>www.arrl.org), or if you wish, send them to me 
and I will relay them.

Thank you for any help you may be able to provide.

73,

Paul Gray, N0JAA
