Glenn Hauser logs July 29-31, 2009

** CANADA. CFRX, which had been missing or on very low power for a few days, again audible on 6070, July 31 at 1233, with usual drivetime chat, but warbling het from North Korea which always bothers until after 1250 or so (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake July 29: At 1348 poor on 9000, not heard on 8400. At 1350 good on 11300; 1352 poor on 13970; 1356 good on 15150. July 30: took a day off from monitoring!

July 31: 0445 on 17700 --- unusual time on unusual frequency: WRTH, Aoki and EiBi show not a single station on 17700 at any time. So we can only assume Sound of Hope was on there drawing the jammer.
