| Radar makes 5MHz Band useless |
Germany’s DARC reports that they are having problems with short wave Radars. Almost every evening they are encountering interference from Russian coastal radar “Sunflower” broadcasts on 5310—5410 KHz. This makes the recently issued 5 MHz miniband useless. The system transmits Frequency Modulation on Pulse with 43 sweeps per second and will capture aircraft at a range of 450 km. Over water, ships are recognised and even stealth planes may be classified. The system is so successful that the Chinese operate several “Sunflowers” on the east coast. Chinese Over the Horizon Radars work almost daily on the 20 metre band and in the evenings on the 40 metre band.
