You are correct Todd, that is precisely what I meant. There are several groups like this scattered around mostly in the lower part of the phone segment. I have had run ins with them not only on AM but SSB. Rod, amateur radio is not an intercom now does anyone own a frequency as Todd says.

To a certain extent, the same thing has happened on 40m since (most of) the BC stations went away, as happened on 75 when the band was expanded down to 3600. Back in the spring, there was a lot of activity on 7160 at first, until the novelty wore off, and gradually the activity has dwindled.
