Re: [HCDX] US time stations jammed?



If all the stations used their own frequencies, there would be little point in having internationally allocated standard time frequencies.

I was exaggerating somewhat. However, the fact remains that Russia thought it better to use 4996, 9996, 14996, if not to be `kind`, at least to avoid interference to their own advantage, and China keeps to the even frequencies. I believe the STFT `bands` are allocated 10 or 20 kHz wide, so more stations could be spread out a bit.

Note that in WRTH listings, Spain also offsets EBC to 4998 and 15006, altho on a very limited schedule of 1030-1055 and 1000-1025 M-F respectively. Does anyone really hear them active? Mode is not given, CW?

> ** CHINA. 10000, Aug 26 at 1257,
beeps of higher pitch mixing with WWV/WWVH. 1259 began Morse
IDs on MCW over and over as BPM, i.e. China`s WWV at Lintong
(Mt. Li), Shaanxi. Too bad on pp 668-669, WRTH 2011 does not
show details such as ID times, in this case during minutes
:29 and :59. Even in the standard-frequency arena, the
ChiCom brazenly QRM US broadcasts, while the Russians are
kind enough to offset their timesignals -4 kHz (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)


Is it really so that the US time stations have a monopoly
over internationally allocated time signal and frequency
standard frequencies and all other time stations (from
China, Brazil, Argentina, Korea...) in fact "brazenly" jamm
their operation? I think I read this for the first time in
my life... but maybe I have missed something...
Clarification appreciated, thanks.
