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
