Hi, Tom!

Yeah, the different frequency spread of the different harmonics 
and the difference between the sound of one transmitter and 
several of them can all make it quite confusing.  When I first 
heard the signal (18090 and just one jammer) I was sure that it 
was just a new high speed PICCOLO.  A few days later I was 
waiting for it and heard it come on the air  -  no idle pattern, 
no ID, no callup, just random tones.  So I asked around and 
someone (I have forgotten now who it was) quickly set me straight.

Anyway, we should all keep looking for those Bulgarians  HI
