Topband: 80m DX window

For those DX-peditioners and DX-stations reading this reflector, I would 
like to draw your attention to the following.

3505-3509 is totally useless in Europe (at least West Europe, but probably a 
larger part of Europe) during our evenings, due to a very strong what I 
think to be utility station, transmitting intermittent streams of data 
(sounds a bit like pactor) packets.

Too many DX-stations and DXpeditions are still using these frequencies, 
their signals being interrupted/disturbed, resulting in frustrated EU DXers 
(and we all know what happens if some of those can't hear a station well).

Wouldn't mind if someone distributes this info to other related reflectors 
(topband still the one and only I subscribe to), the more the better.

Tnx - Mark - ON4WW.
