Comments: My apologies to the stations that I could not copy, and many
thanks
to the ones enduring my constant request to repeat the
section.
I have a nearby local -BC AM station whose transmitters started
producing(again)
a 5/9 +40 dB spurious signal on 1.810 and increasing the noise
level floor
from 5/7 to 5/9+ across 1.800 ~1.890 MHz., a second peak of
5/9+25 was present on 1.870.
I could dig out of some stations by asking to repeat constantly
but the BC signal was so overwhelming that I decided it was better
to go to bed
rather than hearing pop music.
Anyway, I enjoyed the thrill of contesting and challenge on this
band
and look forward to the CQ WW 160
