You can thank the French Socialist/Commie government for selling them the
jamming equipment.

The FireDrake type of jamming has been on the bands for a number of years
now and
has been named 'FireDrake' for about as long. Typically it's Chinese
music, heavy
on the crash bang percussion.

Apparently the ham operators only started being bothered by it since
this past August.

Well, they do tend to be bothered by it when SoH (and anybody else) starts
broadcasting in a ham band and then the Chinese start jamming there as
well.

Why give them such a dramatic name like Firedrake? Chinese music jammer
is more descriptive.

I'm not sure exactly who bestowed that name upon them. But in its own way
it's
merely a shorter descriptive term for that type of jamming.
