This was no RCI operation, but surely China using RCI audio to jam VOT. However, not hrd since then. The very next day VOT tested both 7465 & 7455, with the intention of changing to 7455, since CH jammers take 5 days to a week to change a jamming freq ! However, the next day and after, CH didn't co- channel VOT. VOT, however, chose to move to 7455. Probably will jump to 7465 if CH appears on 7455.

Continuing searching I found signals with decreasing strength every 23 kHz, so that the spectrum looked like this 494 517 540 563 586. My first thought was that there was a fault in the front end of my NRD535 as Budapest comes in with about S9 +40 dB here in this part of Austria. I immediately tested the same freqs with my Drake R8B - the same effect, but not so strong, Solt is S9 +20 here. A further test a few days later on both and a Sony SW77 showed that the phenomenon still existed. Sent an e-mail to R Budapest, and got the reply: My name is Narancsik Mihaly, I'm working at the Quality Assurance Dept. of Antenna Hungaria Co. - and received your e-mail from Magyar Radio. Antenna Hungaria Co. transmits the progrs of Magyar R. Our txing stn at Solt txs the progr of Kossuth R on 540. The peak carrier power is 2 MW, which is Dynamic Carrier Controlled. Reacting on your observation, we examined the problem and we found the reason of the trouble. The staff of the txing stn at Solt repaired the defective unit during the night of Dec 5th.
