Back when they had official frequencies for North America, 9740 from
Singapore frequently came in better in the SF Bay Area than the
"official" frequencies, needing nothing but a cheap portable with its
included antenna.


I find that Africa can be heard from time to time in California as
well, although the signal is noisy. 11765 is the best around 0500, if
you can null Cuba. 0930 is a good time for other Asian signals. I've
heard Indonesia and Chinese domestics then (interesting music). Radio
Free Asia and its drums and flutes jammer is also active then. The
Chinese have the best jammer I've ever heard, a lot better than the
Soviet bubbles and the crackling noise and several other ideas. Cuba
and Iran use the bubbles today, while Zimbabwe has been using the
crackling.


- I always found it interesting that America never tried
- to jam Soviet broadcasts and even let Warsaw Pact
- QSL cards get through the mail on occasion.

Freedom to Hear the Truth [.]

- I suppose that jamming is simply not a part of
- American propaganda.

WOW - LOGIC LEAP - Not Jamming "Is" Propaganda !
- - - It Boogles The Mind !

- Everybody jams us, but we don't jam back.

-Cause- We Have Truth and Justice On Our Side
and The Freedom To Choose [.]

The Best Defense "Is" A Good Offense - Da Truth !

- Nixon preferred to use clandestines and counterclandestines
- ("black clandestines") rather than jam.

The Voice of the Opposition and The Voice of the Truth
and Freedom -vice- the Voice of the Government Monopoly
and the Propaganda of an Oppressive One Party System.

- Bush would be a likely jammer,

Liberal-Dar Alert ! - Liberal-Dar Alert ! - Liberal-Dar Alert !

Hillary will change your mind about Bush
within a year of her Election.

- but given that only a few thousand Americans out of
- 300 million bother to listen to SW anymore, it's just
- not worth it.

We already have PBS and NPR for the Liberals
to Feast On -and- AM Talk Radio and Religious
Broadcasting for the Conservatives and Christians;
-plus- Commercial {Entertainment} TV and Radio
for everyone else.
