Anyone else copy this the last few nights? Was real strong in NW PA.
Wisconsin must have been hearing it, as they had to move a traffic net
to a different freq. Appeared to be speaking Russian, or perhaps an
eastern European language. It's AM....Who/how does something like
this get reported?  

##  3900-4000  is the SW AM  "75M" band.  IE: we just lost 100 khz
of the top end of the 75m band  for all intensive purposes.   We have LOUD
chinese stations on 3925 here on the west coast...+ a few other freqs > 3900.

##  Go to any of the sites of commercial SW AM  broadcast TX and mating amplifiers,
and they all include 3900-4000 khz.  

##  It's too bad in the end. One loud AM SW  station will take out +/- 6 khz easily..so
each one of em cleans out 12 khz of the band.
