South Pacific: Signal From China Jamming 18 MHz Ham Band

A Radio China signal on 18.160 MHz has been very strong and consistent into Australia and the South Pacific over the past few months. The United Kingdom's government radio monitoring station has confirmed the location of the transmitter as the southern Yunnan province in China, not far from North Vietnam.

The U-K monitoring station recently received a note from the Chinese authorities in Beijing regarding the transmission. In it, the Chinese authorities promised to investigate the 18160 kHz broadcast signal and to have it removed from the amateur band. But as we go to air, the signal is still quite louns and clear across the region. (WIA News)
