This IS as source of QRM to the 20 meter band.  I can hear them here in 
Virginia, and they often jam weak signal cw from Africa and Asia,not to mention 
other areas of the world.  It behooves the amateurs down in Chilie, and other 
parts of Latin America  to listen to the freqs, try to identify those responsable 
and report them to their local Amateur radio and country authorities.  
Remaining silent about ANY QRM just leads to MORE.
