It would be interesting to coordinate all of that 'QRM" between distant stations
to see if we can figure out what it is and/or determine if it's local or
distant.  I can solve some of the local stuff.....

I think I will listen for BRO/LEK tonight to see what I can hear down there.  I
did manage to snag NC/XM together a few nights ago so this will be a new
challenge.

It sure would be nice if everybody nestled together on a few hz segment in one
grand End of Season CaptureFest.  I suggest where NC and XM are currently
located as I haven't heard much about QRM on that spot.  Hopefully 5 or six
stations could occupy a 4Hz segment with a little coordination -- maybe even
more.  Around 184.898 unless others hear unwelcome stuff around that frequency.

Just a thought for those stations with Variometers or other ways of moving
Freq.....
