ESAT Radio jammed

While tuning in to ESAT Radio on 14th Nov (Monday) at 1659 UTC on 15370 kHz found that the channel was empty, scanning the adjacant channels found a weak station on 15390, searching this frequency on web, came accross this announcement on ESAT Radio website that they are now operating on two different frequencies 15370 & 15390 kHz........

At 1715 UTC when I re-checked 15390 kHz only white noise was audible. This noise sounds similar to the DRM hash.
TDP schedule still listes them on 15370 daily .... http://www.airtime.be/schedule.html


On wednesday, 15th Nov 2011, jammer was noted on 15370 at 1700 UTC sign on & 1801 sign off. On 16th Nov ESAT Radio signed on at 1659 UTC & jammer again came up at 1700 UTC on 15390 kHz.
Here's how the jammer sounds ... http://tinyurl.com/bp42hne
