I dialed around 15m for a few minutes today to work some of the CA guys.
Many places across the band I was getting some cruddy noise which I figured was a broadcast station with a runny nose. I finally was able to find the frequency of the broadcast causing the qrm on 21555.
The signal would disappear for a few seconds, then an s7 carrier would appear and within a few seconds the music would begin to play while the s-meter went to s9+40. After a minute or so the transmission would stop and then recycle as explained above.
Did anyone else notice this? It is something that needs to go away because much of the qrm was as high as s6 in OUR band.
Where should we go from here?
