Most major international shortwave radio stations have turned into the B08 schedule from last Sunday, the 26th. Due to the seasonal condition changes of the propagation, they have usually shifted their frequencies to the lower bands like 60, 49, and 31mb. The higher bands like 25mb or above have been much more quiet than before - and on the contrary, the lower ones are now so crowded with a lot of stations. This has resulted in creating severe interferences here and there. In Japan, Chinese stations are the biggest headache for DXing. They are of course allowed to use the shortwave frequencies for their regular broadcast -- but not for the meaningless jamming against other stations.
I am planning to make a weekend radio monitoring in this coming weekend. Here in Japan, next Monday - the 3rd of November, will be the national holiday, and it will be the 3-day consecutive holidays. Look forward to spending the weekend in my shack. Hope the human jamming of my 3-year old daughter also gets quiet :-)
