Mike, you could be right, of course, but I am talking about some =
REAL strong stations that if they were domestic stations you'd be =
saying, "Wow, they must be running 2K". If they're foriegn, they either =
have monster antennae, or monster power, or both. Not all are that =
strong, and strength of signal isn't so much the point, but the fact =
that this seems to happen to me at least a couple of times a day. I am =
very active, to the tune of over 200 non-contest CW contacts a month, so =
I am all over the bands, but still. The stuff just appears out of =
nowhere. I realize what a zoo 40m can be, but there are times, if I =
want to make a CW contact, it is the best place to go, because of the =
limits of my antenna setup. I hear a fair amount of this on 20m as well, =
but it seems to have picked up in the last month or so. I don't suppose =
it could be digital military communications over in Afganistan, could =
it? Sure it could.=20
