9A/Croatia (9A1TT) is a www.RemoteHamRadio.com station that members may operate remotely. Rig consists of a FLEX-6300 driving an OM2000A+ 1500W amp. 160m antenna is a 31.5m vertical with a top hat and 6 radials elevated 6m. A 4 square is provided for 80m and separate beams are provided for 40, 20, 15 and 10m. W, NW, N and NE beverages are provided for 160, 80 and 40m RX. slow due to excessive EU QRM. Saturday was the most productive day because W/VE stations were working me for Croatia. Sunday was very slow because most W/VE stations had already worked me on 20m, the only band open until Croatian sunset. It was 2-3 hours after 20m was dead before 40m opened. the FRC for the custom Telnet filter they provided for my location as well as numerous N1MM+ tips that they provided. These were no doubt contributing factors to my highest number of QSOs ever in a contest. |

Ice storm damaged 160m antenna and receive antennas, so I decided operte low power. Sometimes tough going against the many using more than 100watts. 10m was open to SA, while 15m was open to parts of EU on Saturday, but Sunday these paths did not materialize, but had some N/S propagation. Noise levels on 40m/80m were extremely quiet at my QTH. Maybe the ice caused the power line noise to disappear Friday night and Saturday. Noise came back Sunday afternoon causing havoc (S7-S9), but was able to dig many callsigns out. Thanks for bearing with my low power (100W). Low power on 80m makes thinhs challenging, but many on the other side had good ears. Thanks all of the QSOs and had fun as usual putting more time in, but not stirring many QSOs when running, so spent lots of time S&P. 73 |

Operating conditions: I worked with an old Kenwood TS430S without any filter and my loved Russian key. The antenna was a Carolina Windom (short version) at 6 meters height. It's exciting, just a little tricky to maintain the transmission cadence for a long time without making mistakes. There is no rush, it is about enjoying the moment, living the contact. |

Due to time restrictions I entered the SB-40 category. More than half of the QSOs were done within the first 4 hours (700+). From that time on the conditions dropped so that I decided to take a break. The rest of the 567 QSOs took approx. 12 hours so not much fun anymore. See you next year maybe in all band category. Take care and stay safe from the virus. Station setup FT1000 MP MarkV, homemade MOSFET PA, 2 el. full size Quad up 100 ft. 73, Armin, DK9PY |

Nice conditions on Saturday (in solar minimum). But only 5 !!! qsos on Sunday - all with qtf to Southamerica and all of them were very weak and a struggle. During 5 hours no one heard my cqing in Northamerica - not even a skimmer. On Sunday also the big guns (w3lpl, k1ttt, ...) were very weak - glad to work them on Sat with good signals. Send comme |

HF never stops surprising me. Highlight was a 10m skew path (beaming South America) opening Saturday well after dark. Worked 77 stations in 25 states in all call areas except W0 (K0RF did not hear my call) and W7 (only worked AZ). Sunday evening the opening was there but much weaker, except for N4BP and N6SS which I heard for hours. Looking forward to the next ARRL DX CW. |

Due to travel restrictions the remote operation was the only choice to participate in this CW fiesta from perfect ED8W site. To keep things simple, the SOSB on 20m was the best option considering the condx. Setup worked perfectly (IC-7610 with N1MM+). I was feeling like playing video game, sometimes the band condx were like in morse runner cw practising mode, no QRM just loud signals from US/VE one after another in nice rate...hi. Manolo EA8DO spent the w/end in the shack, supervising the station and keep pushing me to the limit. Without his huge effort and help it would not be possible. My thanks goes to the station owners Mari EA8LF and Manolo EA8DO, our second family on the Isla La Bonita. Gracias. |

My first Arrl dx Cw in QRP SO(AB) Assisted with : FT-817ND + Norrow Filter - 5 Watts - Vertical Antennas (R7 + HF6V). Thank you for taking the time to decode my signals in the noise. Unfortunately no qso on 160 and on 10m due to a very lower propagation. A successful weekend and above my expectations with this little setup. F8AOF/Jery |

Bonjour, J'ai pris plusieurs heures de mon temps de travail pour renvoyer un état des liaisons et au final je constate que 0 points. Le moins que l'on puisse dire c'est que pour le nouveau opérateur radio que je suis j'ai perdu mon temps. Au lieu de mettre à zéro, une adresse pour demander comment faire serait bienvenue. J'ai bien contacté les stations indiquées et je pense que vous trouverez confirmations dans leurs journaux. A l'avenir, à moins que quelqu'un ait la gentillesse de me répondre et de m'aider j'éviterai cette activité. Cordialement F8FPW Hello, I took several hours of my working time to send back a link state and in the end I see 0 points. The least we can say is that for the new radio operator that I am I wasted my time. Instead of zeroing, an address to request a comment would be welcome. I have contacted the recommended stations and I think you will find confirmations in their logs. In the future, unless someone is kind enough to answer me and help me I will avoid this activity. cordially F8FPW |
F8KCF [photo/doc] |
Full remote operation for all operators. With VOIP and delay, it was not easy to decode weak signals distorded by poor propagation. Our 40m antenna broke during the contest, but we managed to fix it before the end, and enjoyed nice run for few hours. |

G3WRR |
Not a serious effort (as is clear from the log...) but took a few trips into the shack (a) to keep my hand in, and (b) to give out a few points. Conditions not good. 20m was my best (perhaps I should say least worst) band. Some strong S. Americans on 15m here in South London but very few W/VE. No W/VE heard on 10m. Of course, an inverted L with a 50ft top 20ft up doesn't help :-) |
G3YMC |
Just a small entry. Conditions not their best. |
G3ZGC |
A brief single band entry. But enjoyable. |
G4BUO |
Not sure whether to do a full-on entry, but the first hour made the decision for me! I went back to bed and got up at 5am, when topband was in good form, but the rest of the weekend was a real struggle. Looks like I missed an opening late on 15m on Saturday, but Sunday was a washout. The last hours were a struggle with most 40m signals down in the noise. You'd call a weak W and then he'd get even weaker when he replied! UK definitely too far north when conditions are so disturbed. At one point on Saturday I noticed that every signal from Tennessee had auroral flutter, but W8s and VE3s had pure signals. Very odd. |
G4RMV |
No Beams, no Towers just a wire G5RV at 10m ASL 27m Total Antenna Height 37m (120' ASL). Radio ICOM 7610 Conditions were abysmal at times and down times were exceptional. However, fun was had when the conditions allowed. |
G5W |
Note: Two Canadian stations gave "MAR" which has been changed in the log to "NS" as MAR was not acceptabe to the logging programme Generally poor conditions - southern Europe had much better propagation than those of us in the North. Hard work at times. |
G6XX |
Two contrasting days. Saturday had propagation on 15m and even one QSO on 10m but Sunday had none of either; would have been more fun if the best had been saved for the end rather than conditions deteriorating through the weekend. |
G8NSZ [photo/doc] |
Band conditions not sparkling, especially QRP. Using FT-817ND and EFHW. Too many strong EU contest stations on Day 1 so just an hour or so of operating on the second day when all the strong stations had already worked each other:-) |
GM0EUL |
Great fun and great opportunity for some qrp dx! On Saturday I used my K2 running 5w to a home made hexbeam and on Sunday my kx3 also running 5w to my hexbeam. Nice conditions and I kept going until the strong signals were all dupes. Tried running every now and then but barely registered on the RBN and no one came back so I stuck to S&P- some fine ops with great ears out there, thanks to all who made the effort to gig my qrp sig out of the noise. 73, Peter GM0EUL |

I QSOed 9 stasions in 2016. I QSOed 5 stasions in 2017. I QSOed 38 stasions in 2018. I QSOed 15 stasions in 2019. I QSOed 29 stasions in 2020. I QSOed 19 stasions in 2020. It is very difficult to QSO with U.S.A. stations using low power RIG. I strong desier to low power categoly in sigle band!! When the sunrise time at the westcoast in the U.S.A. , I could not heare the singal of U.S.A station in top band. I used my MV (Micro Vertical antenna) 12mHigh on my blcony + Elecraft K2 tranceiver. My MV antenna was only 3.6m length and it was up only 12m high from my balcony of my small condminium. I was surprised that I could QSO many U.S.A. stations with my MV antenna! |

K3CCR |
K3CCR is the club station at the Collington continuing-care retirement community at FM 18OW in MD, just east of DC. N3UM and W3GB operated Multi-2 in 2021 ARRL DX CW. We hoped to beat our 2020 result of 1324 Qs, 361 mults, and 1.43 M claimed, our best since high-SFI years 2018 and before. We did that, by just 3%; 1.225X as many Qs but 0.84X as many mults in 1.38X more BIC hrs. Kp of 3-4 gave low Q rates on 160 thru 40 M, but SFI of 75 gave high rates on 20 and 15 M. Our mult deficit was probably partly due to ~2X fewer special operations, due to covid travel limits. At start 00-0420Z, N3UM as usual ran for bulk Qs on 40 M and then on 80 M for 195 Qs, and W3GB as usual clicked spots for mults and ??always-CQ? ops on 80 and then 40 M. After 0420Z N3UM left to sleep and return early. W3GB then did 40, 80, and 160 M for 212 total Qs at 0833Z QRT. Back early, N3UM ran EUs on 20 M for 301 Qs 1238-1628Z. W3GB 1612-00Z got 201 Qs, 161 on 20 M and 40 on 15 M. N3UM 1924-2212Z got 151 Qs on 40M, 124 in a run. W3GB got 43 Qs on 40 and a last 10 on 20 M 00-04Z and left for sleep and early return. N3UM got 161 Qs on 40 thru 80 M slow but steady 0050-0615Z, 105 of them on 80 M. W3GB got good EU rates on 20 M early Sun. AM; 158 Qs 1230-17Z. Then 17-00Z on 20 and 15 M, W3GB got 84 last Qs and 9 mults, now mostly in SA and AS. On 40 M 1925-00Z N3UM ran for 69 of 105 slow last Qs, and 2 mults. W3GB got 41% of our Qs but 55% of our mults. |

Conditions alternated between interesting and brutal. Took a long nap Saturday night after going 25 minutes without a QSO. Probably missed a lot at European sunrise. Condx improved markedly for the last few hours with good openings on 20 and 15 to Asia and the first ZL on 10m in years. Ice storm damage to the rotating 15m and 10m yagis made things difficult, but there was only limited propagation there. New SE line noise limited 10m only to loud stations. However, it was a great weekend to be on the air! |
K5TIA |
Best ARRL DX I have participated in. Good conditions, except in 10 and 160 meters. My antennas are poor. Funny spotters spotted. Lots of superstations and super-operators with great ears. Thank you to all that participated. Thank you N3FJP for your logging software. Thank you Yaesu and ACOM for making great radios. What a great hobby. Thank you ARRL. |

K6NR |
Great contest as always with decent conditions overall. I was pleased to be able to work into JA on all bands except 10. JA on 160 were few on Saturday morning, but there were more and stronger on Sunday. JA stations on 80 and 40 were plentiful and strong, even some running QRP. Many more on 20 and 15. Overall, 437 of my 915 contacts were JA, good to have all that activity and favorable conditions to that part of the world (also worked 70 additional stations in Asia). Eu signals on 20 were abundant but not as many strong signals as in the past (125 20m Eu contacts this time, 284 in 2019). I called CQ on Sunday and got a handful of Eu responses - all fairly weak despite each running 500 watts or more. The exception were EA stations, there were many and almost all were quite strong. I called many other Eu stations with 700 watts and a 4 element yagi who either struggled to pull me out or couldnt even hear me. On 80 meters, I only worked 4 Eu, compared to 2019 when I worked 55. Without more Eu my overall mult count was way down. Thanks to everyone for the QSOs. dana |

Operating Cond: Icom IC-7610, F12 C3SS yagi at 80 ft I have to call this contest listening to the eastern USA working EU. Few EU statins heard compared to previous years. Some Northern EU stations had a wierd flutter making more diffucult to copy. I could hear Eastern USA work EU but cud not hear the stations they worked. In the afternoons props switched to AS/OC. Some of the usual stations were not heard. Only one DU, HS in the log. The usual JA's, a couple of HL, no YB, T8, KH0, VK. ZL came thru good. This contest was like a box of chocolates, you never know what DX you're gonna get |
K7EG |
Conditions very spotty but generally poor. Had fun. Enjoyed 40M morning openings to EU. Hope for better condx in SSB version. |

Since SBSO Assisted is not a recognized category of operation, this is being submitted as a checklog. Hopefully SBSO Assisted will be a recognized category in the future. |

Wow! It still amazes me how well a motivated operator with 100W into a Tribander & wires at 40 ft can do! Conditions were good and not noisy for a change. I called CQ lots and ran rate on all bands but 160 and 10. Even managed a pile up to EU Sunday morning (Woke too to late Sat for EU) The pile ups to JA on 80/40/20 & 15 were awesome with many JA stations on 4 and even 5 bands. Never really felt under powered except during the transition periods from EU to JA. That's when I napped a couple hours without much ill effect. Thanks to all who answered my calls. 73s from N NV! |

I never found a really good opening to Europe to the point I could operate in "Run" mode. I tried a few times on Sunday in "Run" mode with only a few EUR calls of station running high power. Spotting helped quite a bit with finding stations I had not worked. I did hit 10M for just a couple of contacts on Sunday. |

KB6CA |
Enjoyed the contest very much. I do have one comment. When attempting to contact other US operators, at times I would get SRI DX, NO US, or even once I got NO. I understand that if they're sending their call followed by DX, then I would not attempt to contact them. However, many of these ops are just sending their call signs without DX and then will not confirm your contact. The time spent sending SRI DX or the like could very well have been spent confirming your call. To myself, this seems rude when they do this if their call is not followed by DX. I find this often in contests and find it somewhat irritating but try to let it go and go on to the next contact. Thanks again for the great contest. Jeff KB6CA |

Team "A Squared" (Kp4AA AA4NC) having fun again in sunny, warm Puerto Rico! If the score holds up it's a new Puerto Rico M/S HP record last broken in 2013. It's very satisfying to design, build, install and maintain a station that works contest after contest without any equipment or antenna failures. Finally had a decent, but short lived, ten meter opening that allowed 53 stations to work us on 6 bands. Equipment- Elecraft K3S, KPA1500 (1kw output), Roof mounted Cushcraft A4 Tribander, Wire antennas for 40,80,160. It's time to begin work on a second multiplier station to help with the mult. total. 73s from Ken and Will and really appreciate all of the contacts! |

With A index between 17 and 20, too much noise to make up for the indoor antenna setup here. 80 meters was a real bust. Rope burn would be more fun. Found 2 Q's on ten to get P44W and NP2X in the log on 5 bands. Found HI3T giving out 04 for his power with a good QRP signal. Since I now have internet, I tried Unlimitted for the 1st time. That helped keep things interesting for me.

Small window of good condx between SA and NA, better on Sat than Sunday, the whole window lasted less than 12 hours during the entire contest but provided by some interesting runs for 10m at this part of SS 25 with the low SSN count.

MI4I |
Bands very up and down. Hard doing epsecially on Sunday. |
MM0T |
I was originally going to put in a multi-band entry but when I heard nothing from across the Pond on 40 and found conditions dreadful on 20, I decided to put in a single band effort. Conditions were poor with many fluttery signals from northern stations and relatively weak signals from those I'd expect to be much stronger. This plus living next to a four storey tenement block with all the electronic junk they run, didn't make life easy, but it was good fun all the same. Here's hoping for better next year! Apologies to those I missed/lost due to the above. |
MM4D |
Disappointed with poor conditions. Didn't hear anything on 10m or 15m. 20m was rammed and virtually impossible to get a run frequency, especially with only 100w.......40m was similar. On the up side I had a lot of fun digging out weak ones and really putting my FTdx101 through it's paces.....verdict, it's excellent! I'll be back for CW next year! Fingers crossed for improved conditions for SSB. Thanks to all for the QSO's. 73 de GM4ATA (aka MM4D) |
N0JK [photo/doc] |
Nice to see 10 Meters open Saturday despite the solar flux in the low 70's. K index was 4. Geomagnetic field active, which may have boosted the MUF. HH2AA over s-9 and in for hours. ZF1A and HP3SS also nice and loud. I ran a minimalist station. A "Tuna 2" QRP transmitter at 5 watts and old TS-850 to receive. Antenna Radio Shack CB mag. mount on patio Weber BBQ grill lid. When 10 is open, even a simple set up can make some contacts. Best DX was to CE2ML, LU2FE and PY2MC. |
N0XFD |
Clearly my setup was not conducive to intercepting DX stations. I was able to hear just about every CONUS station that was operating and could only make out a handful of DX stations. I managed to only make two DX contacts. Fortunately these were locations I had never reached before so that ticked some entities off of my list. The multi-band di-pole is currently only slightly slanted down towards the ends. A 90 degree or so of the triangle would likely prove better results, come spring thaw will see what adjustments can be made. Had fun getting setup for CW (RX and TX). A mode I do not usually operate on so I was relying on the computer for the RX and TX. -73s Charlie N0XFD |

N2BZD |
Great Propagation on 40 m surprised I worked Australia with 95 W and a vertical 15 m Propagation was mostly South America and Caribbean as expected |
N2EM |
Anti-kudos go to the operators who, especially late in the contest when I have already worked most of the stations that I hear, run long streams of QSO's without identifying! It's very annoying when I listen to a station for five minutes, thinking its a rare one, only to find out, when he finally identifies, that I've already worked him. |
N2GM |
Would like to flag that between 02/20/21 16.32UTC and 18.10UTC I used by mistake randomly the N2GM call and W2AW call because of a mistake in the logging program. Sorry for this mixture! 73, George N2GM |

N6HI |
QRP -- 5 W. to a 20 Foot End-Fed Wire, thrown out my window into a tree. A huge drop in propagation conditions compared to the CQWWDXCW ... but, I snagged one ATNO, so it was worth slogging through all the weak signals and high noise levels that dominated the bands this year. Hey, at least I did manage four 10 meter QSOs, and I had the most QSOs, and Countries, on 15m. 20m seemed below-par both days. (?) Thanks to all for the QSOs and your patience with my QRP in these tough and challenging radio conditions! GO ARIZONA OUTLAWS! 73, John N6HI |

It is a typical pattern: Often, when I'm looking forward to something, it doesn't work out for some reason. It was the case of this contest. I built a new stack toward US/CA (AD3446 over AD346) and prepared my shack quite well before the contest. Friday night was promising, but what happened on Saturday night and Sunday on 40, 20, and 15 was a disaster. I don't remember such bad CONDX. Since 1700Z, I was not able to make ANY QSO to the US! I tried and waited till the end of the contest... I heard some stations to make QSO, but nobody heard me. I hope I will gain some energy for the next one because THIS ONE was not fun at all. |

sharing the station with my YL PA5CT gives 2 logs as sosb. All though RX from a very small city lot and TX with an inv-L surrounded by houses is far from ideal still managed to have my share of fun.

Conditions were just awful due to a solar storm. Some (loud) stations could not hear me others needed many repeats. What a drag ... Anyway had some fun during the limited period of useful propagation. Next year better I hope. |

Working from S54E contest location, with my FT-2000, SPE 1.3k-FE Linear Amplifier, and 4-sq antena for 80 m which is S54E construction, with one beveridge to USA direction. More tiny signals from USA, and especially from VA, then strong ones, but workable. This was my first, a little more serious aproach to this contest. Hope to be here next year too! |

Basic, fixed wire antenna, 100W and a geomagnetic storm.. here's my story. On Saturday all signals from area 9 had a distinctive, auroral flutter. On Sunday it was becoming hard to find new stations, so I decided to run - which provided an unexpected, high QSO rate - even if it was just 25 minutes. Strong signals from the eastern half of American continent and a single K0RF from the West. I can't blame it all on the aurora, it's time for a proper antenna :) Many thanks for all the contacts! |

Sorry I started Saturday afternoon only because of family duties. But I had great fun after that ! Thanks all who called me. Conditions were not so good on Sunday with 15m almost closed and pileup not so big than on Saturday. A lot called me twice for a dupe, I can't understand why, maybe because of a fake spot ? Or I should ID more often ? Anyway a lot of fun, only missed the 3 rare canadian provinces NT,NU and YT. All states worked. A special thanks to WY, NV, SD ND who take time to call me. Hope to see you again next year ! 73, Fabien |

Hi There I have submitted my SINGLE BAND 160m CW log for ARRL DX CW three times already and the file I get back says my submission is ALL BAND. This is not correct - my entry is SINGLE BAND 160M CW HIGH POWER UNASSISTED. Please ensure my log is treated as MONO 160m only and NOT ALL BAND. My score is 504 qso's - 57 mults = 86,184 Points FINAL SCORE. Thank you, 73 JEFF VY2ZM |

Would like to flag the organizer that on 02/20/21 between 16.32UTC and 18.10UTC unfortunately I randomly used the proper call W2AW, but also my personal call N2GM by mistake. At 18.10UTC I realized that and I corrected the message in the logging program. Also I tried to fix the log by removing some of the dupes reported, and sent also a separate log under N2GM, but probably there are still mixture between these two logs! Sorry for this "complication"! 73, George N2GM |

After moving to a new QTH in 2012. I set up my ham shack and put up a G5RV wire antenna at 25 feet. From 2000 to 2009 I operated QRP in the ARRL 10 meter,160 meter and ARRL DX CW contests. AT my old QTH I had a 70 foot tower and a Force 12 yagi. So I decided to see how well I could do with a wire antenna 25 feet high running QRP. I made 115 contacts and 67 multipliers, I operated 80,40,20 & 15 meters. On Saturday I could hear stations on 15 meters the band was poor. Sunday afternoon, 15 meters opened and I was able to get some good contacts & multipliers. Thanks for sponsoring the contest. I like that you have a separate category for Singe Op and Single Assisted. Roger Gray W8VE |

Despite the K index rising to 4/5, there were still a lot of strong signals on the bands. Fun time. |

I'm going to assume that as long as all equipment in use is within a 500m circle *at any given instant* that the operation is in compliance with rule STTN.2 -- that is, that it's OK for the 500m circle to *move* during the contest as long as at any given instant, all gear is within 500m of each other. This was a mobile operation, with contacts made across the entire southern half of Davidson County, Tennessee. (Metro Nashville) |

First time in this contest. Decide to go SOHP 15 meters. I needed cw band fills on this band. Worked all I could and got some much needed cw on 15 meters. Was not in a competitive mood. Nice just to sit on single band and listen to prop. My NBNM was St. Helena island with much QSB and repeats, that was fun. Don't know ifI would have gotten him with LP.It was nice to have my recent purchase Alpha 99 on cw with QSK. I also got to be more :familiar with N1MM additional windows I read in October NCJ on S&P. Always something to learn. Thanks for your 15 meter Q. |

WQ6X |
In between my long operating shifts @ NX6T (9:00Z -14:300z and 00:00z - 04:00z) I found time to activate WQ6X from the Fallbrook location that was not being used this weekend (NX6T operated from WA6TQT's QTH). Throughout the weekend, Dennis (N6KI) elmer'ed me on the fine art of working the hidden camera system in Fallbrook, all so I can see the colored louvers disappear, indicating the A/C has been successfully turned on in the amplifier den of the wiring morass in Fallbrook. As weird as it looks, we win contests with it. Thanks to ROTTEN QRN (Low-SFI, High K-Index) I had to dance around the noise. The secret to making it all work on the high bands was to point the 3-el Stepp-IR to SA, open it up BI-directionally to include Asia and then just Call CQ. Occasionally KH6 or VK/ZL would creep in adding to the fun. Sunday morning, noticing that all 3 Russian Beacons were alive on ~7.039, pointing the antenna towards Asia, I put out a CQ on 7018.18, keeping things alive for the next 2.5 hours. The amazing surprise was the Northern Europeans and Ukraine who managed to creep thru from time to time. I want to thank the pileups for standing by and letting their S-3 signals flutter across the pole into my Fallbrook location; quite south, when you think about it. While I love the exchanges, I get frustrated by the station who BARRELS THRU with his callsign. I send him a report and he sends his callsign TWICE - then Nothing! HuH? It took 3 exchanges to make ONE 3-point QSO. This happened repeatedly. If you don't know the rules - READ 'EM. If you DO know the rules then: PAY ATTENTION!

Nice contest one of my favorite about conditions were not the greatest, but there were some entertaining moments with hearing some stations barely S3 in bad local qrm from led ligths so Hats off to all the fine ops whos at times, get them out of the QRM and stood by as long as I confirm all contact information they never give up because I am not a ultra skilled cw op Great fun.. Thanks to all for the QSO's 73 take care and see again next year |

SOSB 15m was at times more like a VHF contest |

Reasonable band conditions on first day but poor on the second which made it difficult to copy reports at times. The pile-ups were a challanged but enjoyed the contest. Look forward to next year. |

Had a good run at it on Saturday, sadly on Sunday there were many stations with sever key clicks and incredibly wide signals, in the end I just got fed up with the terrible signals and called it a day. When will someone do something about these rogue stations with signals 2 or 3 khz wide, or is that what we are expected to do? |
