Long distance propagation was not so good last night. The BC carriers on 7165/75 and R. Ethiopia on 7110 all had a lot of QSB and were weaker than usual. But the jamming signal was still strong enough to wipe out a 15 kHz swath of band, centred round 7165, and was about the strongest thing on the band.
The jammer didn't QSY off 7175 to 7165 until almost 0404 last night. Usually he QSY's just as soon as the BC station moves to '65, within a minute or two of the top of the hour.
I can't understand why they play that QSY game every night, when they both QSY in exactly the same sequence night after night, so each one knows exactly where the other is going and the jammer ends up on top of the BC station in any case.
They don't shut down at 0500; it's 8 AM in East Africa and they fade out because propagation has gone into daytime mode. Back in late March they were audible until almost 0700 before they faded.
I wish they would carry their operation to somewhere in 7100-7125, since that is
wasted space here in the U.S. anyway.
