[MRCG] Net QRM

[Tim]

I imagine they are using bluetooth-enabled Super BelchFire 3000's.  Those,
or most any other ricebox has a sharp, tunable IF notch filter to attenuate
these pesky AM carriers... So I suspect they bother us more than we bother
them.  But we were certainly there first, maybe they didn't hear much of us
until the band lengthened out as time went on.  They were on 3986, other
guys were on 3983 but they departed much earlier..

Thanks for pulling my 4 watt CW peanut whistle outta the noise!  (Did I
mention that CW RULES???)  hihi
