There is a new menace on the bands. Previously the fishing marker buoys used
to send their call twice and then be silent for a few minutes. Recently
several new ones now transmit continuosly. This morning one S9+ buoy was on
1832 and all but wiping out GW3TMP on the same frequency.
This new menace makes 160 even more of a challenge!!!
