Gents and ladies The constant carrier on 14,100 is not the problem. The problem is Indonesian and other SE Asian criminals all over the frequency. It has been like that for years and years and nobody seems to care.
The criminals have taken over the bottom half of 20m, most of 40m, all of 30m and all of 10m. This is no exaggeration. This is the way it is in this part of the world. They are reported as intruders but absolutely nothing can be done about it. They are there day and night. Their corrupt authorities don't give a damn and even if they did, they could never catch these bandits. They are so well intrenched, not even a good bombing by George W would stop them. A constant carrier on the frequency is nothing compared with what we live with here. The beacons have been useless here since their inception. 73, Alek VK6APK At 09:22 AM 26/09/2002 -1000, Jim wrote: >Hi, > >Recall a couple of weeks ago I asked if others were bothered >by the constant signal on 14100, nearly atop many of the >18 NCDXF beacons on that frequency.
