CODAR v DRM: Which do you find to be a greater annoyance?
 

An open question to any and all RRS participants: When scanning the
bands on SW, which do you find to be the greater annoyance: CODAR or
DRM?

As one who enjoys tropical band DXing, I'd say CODAR is the worse of
the two.

Depends of course on where one is listening. They are both equally annoying, and
both = QRM.

Starting with the most bothersome to least:
Chinese opera
CODAR
Bubble jamming

It's jamming that sounds much like water boiling in a pot.

Well, CODARs typically use 150 kHz or so.
That makes them kind of obnoxious.
DRM isn't typically a wide signal, is it?
Typically it is no wider than a normal AM
signal, right?

I can't say I've heard many DRM signals
on shortwave. There is one local MW AM
station that appears to be using it.
At what freq is there a regular DRM broadcast on
SW?

And I'm guessing DRM is not popular with
SWLs because unless one has a decent SNR
one gets nothing but noise?
And thus it is no good for DX?

I think I know what you mean.
Sounds a little like mfsk too, doesn't it.
I think I have heard that at 17720.
I wonder who is doing that these days.

I get Cuba bubble jamming Radio Marti and China opera jamming the VOA
every day many frequencies day and night. The continental USA gets it
both ways.

Bubble jamming sounds like the noise you get blowing into one of those
pipes to make soap bubbles.

Horrendously obnoxious.

So it can be 5 to 20 kHz wide.
i.e. up to 4 standard AM broadcast channels.

schedule at http://www.drm.org/livebroadcast/livebroadcast.php

Hmm. Not to many of them are good prospects to be
received in southern California.

I'm hearing something like a DRM at 2723 kHz now,
utc 2006/01/15 0414. About equal in strength with the
general S2 noise.

Thanks for the links.
