FWIW, several of us who operate near this frequency approached WA0RCR at his
booth at Dayton this year and tried in a calm, objective way to explain our
position that he should consider moving his operation up about a hundred
khz. We explained that he causes interference to signals as much as 4 Khz on
either side, that there are better frequencies available, where such
operations will not impact weak signal work (DX) etc. etc., but received no
assurances that he would move. My understanding is that he operates from a
commercial AM broadcasting site that he purchased, along with existing
antenna, and this may explain the strength of the signal.
