I'm curious how the malicious interference was this year. I operated at K5NA this year. I had a major problem around 14.281 this year. I was sucked into a conversation with a station who would not us
Rich, I had this happen to me before on 20..the recorded CQ thing. I actually worked stations, and thanked the offender for giving me a break, and letting him do the work for me, while I logged the p
I had this happen when operating in the vicinity of 14.275 MHz. The station who declared he was hearing splatter said his call was KZ8O and he was in Michigan. I checked with a number of other statio
Two comments Rich: 1. There is no such thing as ensuring a frequency is "clear," especially over a 15 minute time frame. 2. You should never attempt to draw logical conclusions from an interaction wi
I had almost an identical incident a year or so ago on 20. Fellow came on and told me I was using too much compression. I thanked him and turned it down a little. He wasn't finished, and came on agai
-- This year I started SS on 14.272. That lasted for about 10 minutes, and then a station came on and complained that my POS radio was splattering a net on 14.275. I told him 3 KHz was more than enou
I experienced blessedly little intentional interference this year in phone SS. W4QG and I split the op time about down the middle but found ourselves in the extra-class portion of 20m most of the tim
14275 is the notorious hangout of VE7KFM (aka "Radio Canada" as he calls himself) and a handful of stateside outlaws who live purely to compete with him for profanity and idiocy. They show up at vari
Same thing happened to me operating N7PP last September in the Washington State Salmon Run. I was on 14.278. Nick Winter, K7MO Tacoma, WA about radio enough, intense up. _____________________________

I was jammed by this same station this weekend as well. In my case, he used a recording of a different contest station calling CQ on top of me. In my case, there was no advanced warning or discussion
I guess I will jump in here. He has given me a headache more times that I care to remember, even in a casual event such as the Texas QP. I have tried to avoid this area of 20m but I remember one time
Or make a few "fake" QSOs like you can't hear the interference at all. Complement the guys you're "working" -- "nice signal", "good luck, Bob", etc. --Original Message-- From: cq-contest-bounces@cont
I wonder if anyone had a Skimmer or other SDR-enabled program running , covering that frequency slice during the period in question and recording an I/Q file. If so, it might be worth burning a DVD a
I recorded some of his rantings during CQWWDXSSB. Can't find an appropriate Canadian agency to send it to. Jim W4LC 8:32 AM _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-
On more than one occasion I have been at field day stations where the operator complains of "wide" signals. I tell him to turn off the noise blanker a gee, magically the wideness disappears. I throw
That musta been the crowd that pretty much coerced me to chase contests on cw... and if I could make any kinda rate at all... on 14.274.5, I would. Not so sure that that would be considered deliberat
Hello Rich BTW: I suffered in CQ WW exactly the same and it was east coast station around 14.275 I have seen some spots about other guys complaining and the station would not give out his callsign ei
Although I didn't encountered that jammer, I was nearby on 14.277 from about 1327Z to 1416Z. Earlier, I did receive what I thought was intentional interference around 0530Z on 7.207. I had been runni
What would the Skimmer output of that segment of the phone band look like? There have apparently been recordings made and forwarded to the FCC with little effect, but more certainly won't hurt. The o
The important part of this is the SDR - Skimmer and other software that work with SDRs (such as Rocky, Spectravue, etc.) all have the capability to record 96 or even 192-khz slices of spectrum, all a
