I live in Europe and I can receive very strong Soviet style jammers
around 6100 Khz in the afternoons. I thought this type of jammers had
disappeared in Russia jamming again? Have you heard these jammers in
North America? All the best from the sunny Pyrenees in SouthWest

In general across the bands the most prevalent jammer heard here is the
Red Chinese music jammer (Chinese opera) followed by bubble jamming
from Cuba on the USA west coast.


He said "Soviet style jammers", and the only place that still uses
Soviet jamming technology is Cuba, AFAIK. Ace didn't think that the
Cuban jammers could be heard in Europe during Euro afternoons (morning
in Cuba) because of the daylight path, but anything's possible. It's
possible that he means the Korean jammers, which would be more likely,
but I assumed that the North Koreans were using Chinese technology.


Given the situation there, is Belarus doing anything nasty like this?

Since everybody has just been speculating, I took the time to actually
look in Passport. Apparently the BBC has a broadcast out of Oman to "W
Asia" in a language that Passport classifies as "other" that is jammed.
This is on 6090 from 1600 to 2000 UTC. I'm not sure who in West Asia
would be jamming a BBC tx, or who this tx is aimed at. Iran, possibly?
One of the former Soviet republics in that part of the world? Nepal?
Passport breaks out Russian as a separate language, and it's not
Russian.
