For me this nails it right on the head. I was there this AM  when Mr. 
Tuner showed up on TX3A. Fortunately I'd already worked them. Fortunate 
because Mr. Tuner was lots louder.

I cannot believe it was anything but deliberate QRM. Nobody worth his or 
her salt does not have a tune up chart for knobology amplifiers like 
mine. Or a self tuning amp for those who can afford them. Thus, anytime 
I hear a tuner on a DX station, no question. Its intentional sick-O jamming.
