[CQ-Contest] CB QRM on 10 meters

[Jamie Dupree]

It shouldn't take much for the FCC to do a Google search and come up
with a bunch of radios that look like CB's, but seem to use the
10 meter band.....

The QRM may not affect you - but if you have a minute, write the FCC a
note -
fccinfo at fcc.gov  - it sure can't hurt to let them know we're out there.
