Radar

The New Zealand Intruder watch service has an estimated location for the  wideband radar signal which has been wreaking havoc to the 40 and 80m  bands of late. Bearings received from Sabah, Japan and New Zealand estimate the source of the interference to be in the vicinity of the  Paracel Islands, off the Chinese coast. Further bearings are needed to confirm this location. This signal has been heard all over the utility allocations.
