Comments: My apologies to the stations that I could not copy, and many
thanks 
                to the ones enduring  my constant request to repeat the
section.
        I have  a nearby local -BC AM station whose transmitters started
producing(again)
        a 5/9 +40 dB spurious signal on 1.810 and increasing the noise
level floor
        from 5/7 to  5/9+ across 1.800 ~1.890 MHz., a second peak of 
        5/9+25 was present on 1.870.
        I could dig out of some stations by asking to repeat constantly
        but the BC signal was so overwhelming that I decided it was better
to go to bed
        rather than  hearing  pop music.
        
        Anyway, I enjoyed the thrill of contesting and challenge on this
band
                and  look forward to the CQ WW 160
