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 running
on 7.207 for about an hour at the time. I had a small pileup going
and as I recall, two CA stations called me at once. I worked the
first station and was attempting to work the second station when all
of a sudden there was a strong and incredibly wide non-voice signal
that wiped out my receiver. The signal came out of no where and
persisted. Apologies to WK6I who I was trying to work, but there was
no way that I could hear anything. After a couple of minutes of
incredulous listening, I moved on.
