17 Meter intruder!!!!!!!!!!

[KL7AJ]

A powerful Chinese shortwave station has parked on 18.160 MHz. What, oh what are we going to do about this?http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif

Hmm, use a different frequency, at least that is what the general test answer would be http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif. How do you know its Chinese?

This is a bona fide broadcast station. And I know Mandarin.

I've reported it to the IARU. We shall see what happens

I sure hope 17 doesn't become like 40. It was sure nice while it lasted. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

VK2R0 reported on the 4th of December that this was a spur from a transmitter on 17890 KHz. #

Another station Down Under reports hearing the same audio on 17615, 17880, 17890 and 18160. #

Radio China has a lot of 17 meter frequencies, and it's conceivable they've got some intermod in one of the amplifiers from other colocated rigs. #If you run the intermod products for 17615, 17880 and 17890, there're plenty in the 17 meter Ham band. #2X 17890 - 17620 would be right on 18160.

On 10 December, VK6RO said this had been reported to the VK Intruder Watch and to the Australian regulatory authorities.

You mean you can understand Mandarin?

My youngest is highly allergic to Mandarin oranges, orange juice, etc. In fact we had him in the ER two weeks ago because he got hold of some orange juice.

Cost my insurance carrier $562. Can you imagine?

Oh, back on track, yes, it would stink if the 40m Novice band ended up being recreated elsewhere. It was a great education being there but I'm glad I'm not anymore.

[K7KBN]

I can play the mandarin. The tuning is the same as on a viorin. It's used in brueglass music.

[WA9CWX]

Get back at the Chinese.
Sell poorly made American products to them.
Oh, I guess we do....
Can you say "Big Mac"?

[W8CEI]

KBN, Thanks, I just spilled coffee in my lap!! Loved your posting, needed a good laugh. keep up the good work. 73 http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

"It's used in brueglass music."

Brueglass; an empty 807.
Bruegrass music; what they play at a C&W bar while they fill your glass with brue.

BTW, that Chinese beer tastes like something that came out the back end of a yak! The British must have left the secret of Bass at home.

I really don't care to know how you are qualified to make that sort of taste evaluation.

[w5ljm]

Well, SW pirate stations will keep moving into the HF frequencies and we'll just keep scooting up or down the band to give way to them being the gentlemen we are, and sooner or later we'll run out of band space. #No problem. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

Reminds me of the bully in elementary school who kept pushing the smaller, weaker kid down the bench until he ran out of bench and fell off the end.

Or, it may be, as was mentioned earlier, a case of harmonics. #I'm hoping this is the case.

[KA4DPO]

KI7AJ, Li Doc Gau Ya Mo Tse?

I too like MSG, it makes everything taste so much better. Perhaps we could send QSL cards to the offending station to find out where they are. Then you can pin their coax......

[G0GQK]

Learn Chinese. Sacred frequencies and other more important things in the world like human rights mean nothing to Great Powers, whether they be in China or Guantanamo Bay

Chinese? I've just begun to improve my Spanish, our first necessity here in the USA.

I can play the mandarin a bit but the strings are sticky.

[K5RCD]

Nuke em, dammit, just NUKE EM !!!!! http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif #http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif #http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif

I still don't think the US-based rent-a-stations should be in 90 and 60 metres.

[K7KBN]

Did somebody suggest learning Chinese:

No one expects to learn Chinese....! (http://arago4.tn.utwente.nl/stonedead/albums-cds/lyrics/i-like-chinese.html)

Allan Weiner's station is on 18910. This must be becoming a new SW band. Strange that a lot of older SW only radios won't tune it.
Try subtracting (or adding) 2X your IF frequency and see if they're there. Might be an image.
I've seen that on Radio Havana Cuba (6000 KHz). They show up at 5100 also.

The so-called "15 metre" band is 18900-19020 kc, a WARC '92 allocation. It's been all religious and rent-a-stations as far as I've heard.

Even BBC will spit out weak harmonics. I caught a few of them in the early 90s - 4x5975 (23900), 2x12095 (24190), 4x6045 (24180), 2x9410 (18820). Propagation conditions were that good.

People If you hear that kind of B-cast activity contact the ARRL they have a department for that !

they can always contact their connections!
