I know it's off topic, but someone will have the answer: I'm bothered by 
a strong station on 1810 KHz (I'm in Fresno CA).  I thought it was a BC 
harmonic, but the local station is on 900, and their harmonic is on 1800 
where it should be and is very weak.  The station on 1810 seems to be 
broadcasting music in Spanish.  It's strong enough to prevent me from 
using an swr analyzer to adjust my 160M antenna, and it makes 1805-1819 
unusable.  Yes, I hear it on my K2 and my other rx too!   How can I 
identify this station (I haven't heard any call letters yet)?  And if I 
can, is it illegal?  And if illegal, can I do something about it (I 
think I already know the answer to this one!)
