So there I was, enjoying a nice run in the RU on about 14.133 at 23:54 or so and all of a sudden a station that did not ID itself told me "FREQUENCY IN USE BY NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL EMERGENCY NETWORK PLS MOVE TO ANOTHER FREQ THX".

Well, I acknowledged and immediately moved down a few KHz and tried to finish the RU, but after 23:59 I went back up and tried to find some net activity, but could not.

Anybody run into this before? Maybe there was a real net there that I was inadvertently QRMming, but since the guy did not ID and I didn't hear any activity there, I wonder...

I lost several Q's because of this (the freq I left was very hot).

BTW, I couldn't find any emergency net reference by GOOGLE.
