Thanks Chris; I suspected that might be the case, as the beehive jammer had been so regular here before 1400UT. But...has anyone left a carrier on? I'm not hearing much audio here (and usually it sounds like Japan if I do), but unless JOAR is really undermodulated, someone still is putting

A continuing decline in conditions but not outrageously, just a little harder to dig out the second tier stations. Things peaked around 1345-50UT today. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 594 JOAK peak at 1351UT with man in Japanese

Just a note in relation to the lack of hearing any of the three high-powered Korean signals overseas. There is a reason: 1053 Haeju / Pyongyang Broadcasting (aimed southeast) is off the air. 1053 Gimpo / NIS siren jammer (aimed south) is off the air. 1053 Seoul / NIS beehive jammer (aimed north

It should probably be noted in this discussion that synchronous AM transmitters have been in use in Europe for decades on the AM band. There were and are various mixes of low power and low and high power AM's operating on the same channel with the same programming. Back in the 1970's there were a
