Hi Ed,

I'd like to assure everyone I would never publicly post a request for help
unless I was absolutely positive the station had a real problem and was
causing illegal interference.

I'd like to get:

1.)  SWL reports from anyone who hears WWRB's spurious on 1805kHz in the
evenings. This is an AM modulated mix radiating from a Manchester TN SWBC
station.

2.) Help from anyone in south GA or N Fla can help locate the Spanish
language BC station with a parasitic that drifts between 1815 and 1840kHz,
please  e-mail me.

There is also a VOA transmitter mix on 14025kHz or so (that is not from my
receiver).

Over the past 5 years, over two dozen SW and AM BC transmitter problems have
been corrected. Working as a team, 160 ops have gotten rid of several
problem NDB's also.
Please help with these two!

160 would be a real mess by now if we didn't do all this time-consuming work
on removing offending signals.
