TopBand: SSB QRM

[grhosler1@mmm.com]

I've been hearing some (USB) SSB QRM on 1.830 (in the mornings around 11-1200Z) 
over the past few weeks.  The operators are speaking Spanish and don't seem to 
be bothered by the CW.  I haven't seen any other comments here on the reflector 
regarding this problem and am beginning to wonder if I am the only one that is 
hearing it.  There have also been several US stations operating in the "JA" 
window (at 1.910) that I have asked to move and had some success.  Apparently 
they weren't aware of the bandplan and reluctantly moved.  This SSB stuff at 
1.830 is a real concern!  These guys are almost always stronger than the CW 
DX.  Am I the only one hearing this QRM or is everyone else just resigned to 
work around it?
