** CHINA. 14260, "Firedrake" (Sound Of Hope jammer); 1046-1300* 13 
August, 2006. Continuous ChiCom traditional instrumental/percussion 
loop. Clear, starting weak but rapidly stronger post-1100, abruptly 
off at 1300. No trace of 18180 parallel (Terry L Krueger, Clearwater, 
Florida  USA, 27.55.83 N, 82.46.08 W, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

// could be on one of 3 or 4 frequencies in the 17.3-17.4 or 18.1-18.2 
MHz range.

Firedrake against Sound of Hope was not to be heard Aug 14 at 1320 
check on the 14, 17 and 18 MHz bands. Also checked 15265 and 15285 
where there was something in Chinese but no jamming, maybe CNR1 on 
this occasion. But Aug 15 at 1324 it had a good signal on 14260 // 
9780, and again at 1358 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST

I was told last week that it was a 2nd harmonic of a Chinese broadcaster
on 7230....which is a legal frequency for international
broadcasting....granted, the 2nd harmonic isn't legal...I will look in a
database of shortwave broadcasters on 7230 and see what I can come up
with.
