[AMRadio] FCC cites Jammers

[jon baker]

     All,
   I've heard the "Chinese Dragon" many times here in S. Texas.
   Used to tear up the "DX Windows" at the bottom of 80, and up in
  the SSB window at 3790-3800. (many posts on www.dxsummit.fi)
   Also have heard them on 40 and 30, but not so often, they seem 
  to test in the Ham bands, as international enforcement is lax to
  non-existant. The W6's and W7's have it worse, of course.
   The only times I've heard it is in the early morning hours while
  "trolling" for DX on the low bands, listening for Pacific and Asia.
   By evening in the U.S., most of China is in Daylight, but who
  knows how many Megawatts they run?
   The Over The Horizon Radar called the Chinese Dragon exists, but
  I wonder how much power they would have to run during daylight, to
  affect us in the evening here? Gigawatts perhaps?, take a lot of
  BIG TUBES. HI.
     AD5HR, Jon
