Topband: K1N DQRM Tracking Project

[Charlie Cunningham]

I haven't bothered with it, Doug. I see it mostly as an "exercise in
futility". The "cops" never ID, and the MOST TROUBLESOME QRM  is from
"packet-rats" seeing the spots and then tuning up interminably on to he DX
QRG - of course they never ID either - and they are too lazy and
inconsiderate to move off the DX QRG to tune up!! :(

Is anyone using this DQRM Tracking Project report?  They want reports of
deliberate QRM like 'tuner uppers' and other types, but not QRMers like cops
or 'no splitters'.  I don't know how accurate they can be to identify the
guilty station on any band especially 160m with or without a directional
antenna.
See below:


THE DQRM TRACKING PROJECT ---> Recently, the amount and  intensity  of  DQRM
(Deliberate QRM) has been  growing  logarithmically,  targeting  DXpeditions
all over the world. DQRMers attempt to spoil communications and disrupt  the
joy of chasing DX. Without going into the  motivation  of  DQRMers,  the  DX
Community is taking steps to eliminate this practice.
The KP1-5 Project, which is producing the 2015 K1N Navassa  DXpedition,  has
been  working  with  tele-communications  agencies  around  the  world.  The
objective is to identify stations who are acting as DQRMers  and  use  legal
means to stop this behaviour. The  technology  is  in  hand  to  solve  this
problem and, with your assistance, we can stop this blight that  is  hurting
hams worldwide.
HOW IT WORKS: Locating  the  stations  engaging  in  DQRM  is  a  matter  of
triangulation. When the DQRMer is 60db over S9 at your location, you can  be
pretty  sure  that  station  is  nearby.  If  you  fill  out   the  form  at
www.dqrmreport.com, the data will be collected and  analyzed  to  produce  a
reasonably accurate map of the DQRMer's location. This  data  will  allow  a
close-in search in the DQRMer's area and, using  local  transmitter  hunting
devices, the offender will be identified. This is a real-time system  that's
been in development for several years; its first  major  test  will  be  the
2015 K1N Navassa DXpedition.
WHAT YOU DO: Fill out the form with as much information as you can  provide.
All information will remain confidential. The form will go into  a  database
and the DQRM Project software will do the rest. We can stop DQRM -  and  you
can help!
