[CQ-Contest] Broadcast interference from 13.820 Mhz. station

[Douglas Priest]

Jeez George...You brought back memories.......How wud ya like a 50 (sounded
like it) megawatt BBC station RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET on a 3/4 mile long 7
tower Sterba Curtain????......In 1994 at V2 we didn't get done set up till
15 minutes before the CQ Phone test...Sat down for a smoke test and all we
heard on 6 bands was BBC World Service at 60 over.....As Crocodile Dundee
might say "that's not interference...THIS is interference" :-)
thankfully we cleaned it up with stubs and filters but it WAS aggravating.
Hope you get that problem straightened out BEFORE contest season.   BTW
there is a chair waiting for you in 3 land if ya don't.
