Has anyone figured out what to do about the broadcast station who operates
on 1860 AM every weekend from way before sunset to nearly midnight +?

Why do we really need broadcast information when it has already been printed
in QST magazine and can be found on the internet?

1860 used to be a good spot to find and snag arare DX station; have worked
many VKs and ZLs on that frequency.

If the bandplan is going to work and be enforced, then we need to do
something about the broadcaster (wa0rcr) whose signals here in Iowa run
20/S9+.

Just a question of interest, for those of us effected here in the midwest.
I might add, that when I was a resident of Seattle, Wa, his signals were
quite strong and audible out there as well.
