What is this ?  Are you serious ?
Interference coming from ops down below 2000 Kc ?
Or is this just AM-Commercial Broadcast trickery
to bolster lobbying to oppose LowFer operations ?

However, I too must agree that it wasn't as enjoyable
listening to the CCA or the AMI net as it could have
been had it not been for all the SSB jerks interfering.
Before we get started on Lowfer, THAT problem needs to
be addressed.  Esp when the offending stations are being
heard to brag and laugh about how they are 'sticking it
to those AMers..."  And then when their SSB signals were
being talked over/around, they decided to 'throw' an AM
carrier with music (which btw had crappy audio quality!).

I realize there are a LOT of decent Operators out there,
and that's the ONLY reason I'm still interested (although
not nearly as motivated as I was becoming) in upgrading.

It's a dirty shame there have to be 'dregs' at the bottom
of the barrel, that get their enjoyment out of this kind
of jejune NON-Amateur operations...

Nuf Sed :)
