[Boatanchors] 160 and 75 AM Freqs

[Rob Atkinson]

We have occasional trouble with a group down in Southern IL and and
farther south who think they own 1880 at night, but they usually wait
(with some complaining) until the AM operators on 1880 clear off.

This kind of inflexibility is ridiculous.  You'll have a group pissing
and moaning but nothing for 20 kc up and down but will they simply QSY
and carry on?  Oh no, they must have their frequency.  I don't
understand it.
