[VHFcontesting] W9SZ/R Spring Microwave Sprint

[Mark Spencer]

I've had similar issues during my few attempts / qso's on 927.5 FM in the Greater Vancouver (BC Canada) area.

During the recent microwave sprint one of the hardest qso's to complete was a fairly short distance one on 927.5.   It sounded as thought there was another signal that was trying to capture the receiver.
