First of all, from what can be heard, the group isn't large, in spite of
what they would like it to be. It would appear there are 1 or 2 stations
with others that follow on. The offenders apparently run a tremendous
amount of power. They are also apparently unusually if not oddly committed,
as they can be found there 365 days a year.
Second of all, they have taken the belated courtesy of moving at least
slightly off frequency (perhaps 1kHz) during the AMI net. At calmer
moments they move off the frequency altogether. That should give you and
other AM operators the opportunity to check in. It would be very welcome if
you would operate AM on the AM calling frequency before they get started to
remind them that they have moved in on a very active AM frequency, or
suggest to them that they really are interfering. I am, however, afraid any
attempt at the latter would only reinforce their intent.
I understand 3870 has been a popular AM frequency for approximately 25
years, well before the SSB guys in TX took up their roost. I know they were
not active when I first participated in AM fifteen years ago. In any event
3870 is currently identified by the ARRL as the West Coast AM call in
frequency. It would be a pleasure to think they would be gentlemen enough
to find a meeting place outside the AM window.
Bill,
I guess I don't get it. First of all, what does any of this have to
do with the original topic posted?
Second, what would you have us "5 landers" do? Fight your battles for
you guys in 6 Land? This SSB group is a lot bigger than the 2 or 3
you suggest, and I for one am not going to lay a carrier on them just
because I can!
What exactly are you asking or suggesting "us 5 landers" do for you?
There are groups of 6 and 7 landers that get in between 3880 and 3890
daily on SSB. Do you think we would suggest you "6 landers" just take
care of that for us?
Maybe I'm missing the big point here...
