The IARU Region 1 (IARU-R1) Monitoring System newsletter
reports that one of China's HF Over-the-Horizon radars (OTH-R) has been
transmitting on 6.999 MHz, impinging on the very low end of the
40-meter band.
As
the newsletter reported: "A jumping Chinese OTH radar covered the CW
DX-edge of our exclusive 7 MHz band on November 17 at about 1500 UTC and
later (long lasting)." The signal was 67 sweeps per second with a 10
kHz bandwidth.
Elsewhere on 40 meters, military
ALE transmissions have been heard from Kyrgyzstan on 7050.0 kHz. IARUMS
also reports that the Australian Jindalee Operational Radar Network
(JORN) has been heard on 10.131 MHz in the amateur 30-meter band;
Amateur Radio is secondary on 30 meters.
Radio
Eritrea appeared in November on 7180 kHz together with white noise from
Ethiopia. The frequencies 7146.5, 7175, and 7185 kHz were reported to be
still in use as well.
