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!! :(

Subject: Topband: K1N DQRM Tracking Project
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!
