Yes. There was a lot of QRM (lots of stations in the contest), many of us have
lots
of noise (same problem that some of the DXpeditions are having now), and no
land to construct receive antennas (Beverage).
Much of our noise is from electronic equipment in nearby homes. Our FCC is
extremely lax about this -- the regulations are weak and the enforcement is
worse.
You are lucky in Europe to have the EMC directive in force. My Volvo is much
quieter than most US-made cars.
