"Also check near 3579 for Color burst crystal QRPp stations."  I have no
idea what that means.

Hey John,

That means they are using the crystal out of a TV set.  It operated on
3579.9999999 and was used as the clock for the color burst oscillator
circuit.

Now you know why your fancy TV qrms you on the Alabama net if your running
wide open,,,,,,hi hi.
