This summer I listened to 27-29 MHz a bit, for DX, and noted that the 
Freeband concept is alive and splattering. What is really astounding 
to me is how horrible the audio and the RF quality of many of these 
stations was. In many instances, they were nearly unreadable, even 
though they were S9. The spectrum was very broad, and somehow the 
concept of intelligance seemed lost in the race for high power 
output. Somehow they have evolved into noise generators, away from 
communicators.
