A little \u201cFiredrake\u201d History-The Chinese government jams or interferes with the HF broadcasts of certain shortwave stations that they apparently deem \u201cdangerous\u201d for their citizens to hear. My publication serves as a guide to the world of Chinese jamming and helps the reader learn about Firedrake and some of China\u2019s other shortwave jamming stations.<\/p>\n

Included are jamming frequencies heard during the current A-11 shortwave broadcasting season as well as times of reception. Also included are frequencies heard in use during the past two shortwave broadcasting seasons (A-11 and B-11).\u00a0 Readers will also find information about the direction finding results identifying transmitter sites which I obtained from ITU registered monitoring sites. There is also a virtual tour of a Chinese jamming facility.<\/p>\n
