[SJRA-Members] Ongoing Vile Transmissions on 7.2 MHz LSB

[Bob Sunbury]

Thank you for raising this issue.  Here is the information from the FCC on how to report and should be a good reference for all when these situations  arise. Note there is also an 800 number in the info:

Amateur radio complaints should be as specific as possible, citing dates, times, and frequencies on which alleged violations occurred. Complaints should also include a name and telephone number where the complainant can be reached for further details, if necessary. Please submit your complaints/concerns regarding amateur radio to the Commission's on-line complaint system. The appropriate form for your complaint can be found here: https://esupport.fcc.gov/ccmsforms/form2000.action?form_type=2000F 

Willful or Malicious Interference Complaints 

Section 97.101(d) of the Commission's Rules prohibits amateur operators from willfully or maliciously interfering with or causing interference to any radio communication or signal. 47 C.F.R. § 97.101(d). 

The Spectrum Enforcement Division, in conjunction with the Regional and Field Offices, is responsible for responding to complaints of willful and/or malicious interference (sometimes called ``jamming'') among amateur radio service licensees. 

Amateur radio service licensees wishing to file complaints alleging willful and/or malicious interference to other amateur radio service operations should follow the complaint process discussed above. Parties desiring further information may call: 1-888-225-5322

I have heard them at various times of day for several days now.  It is some of the most sickening language I have ever heard, much less on Amateur Radio.  The content varies and sometimes seems almost clean/normal but if you listen long enough, it turns absolutely worst you could ever imagine.  Some of the transmissions sometimes sound as if they might be some kind of bleed over from a radio station but I cant imagine this sort of language/content is legal on any type of station or transmission.  Sometime they also play recorded music, also foul in nature, as well which is also illegal.

They are producing 40dB + at my location.  They have been reportedly transmitting from the southeastern area of the US.
