Title: Pete was right the contesters are in our sandbox today, but... Post by: W1AEX on October 26, 2013, 11:23:16 AM ...many of the regular AM operators have taken refuge above 29.1 and it looks fairly clear up there. Come on up!

Post by: Opcom on October 27, 2013, 08:57:20 PM So that's what all the racket was and why when we finally left 40M the freq got filled quickly. I had to tune the RX towards the unused sideband a few times, shift it on RX a little. Those guys were right there and it was a little annoying.

The screenshots show the 15 meter and 10 meter AM windows filled with strange signals that had only one sideband and no carrier. They were relentless and as you can see in the 10 meter picture below, they swallowed up that poor little AM signal that was bravely attempting to hold court on 29.0...
