Well have the noise problems been taken care of ??  This morning some time
after 1400 UTC they showed up on 7.013 looking for NA.  The EP6T op spent
more time calling cq NA than he did listening.  There was a huge NA west
coast pileup calling him but less than a hand full made it.  Then he
switched to SSB and his signal disappeared.  I would have expected him to
rattle off 3 qsos per minute but instead maybe, maybe 1 qso every 5 minutes.
On top of it all he didn't say where he was listening.  Was it just a poor
op or did he have a high noise/qrm level?

Hi Merv and all,
According to their WEB site the noise problems have now been taken care of.
They had a very good run both on 80 and 160 last night. In Europe we do have
problems with deliberate QRM on 80 and 40, much less on 160. I must say the
Ops are doing a very good job. Most EU stations obey directions from EP6,
e.g qrx now for JA as an example.
