The CODAR transmitters are causing some serious QRM on the tropical
bands in the range 4500-5000/Khz. I've emailed some of the operators,
which are usually universities, to remind them that their transmitters
are disrupting certain international broadcasts. However the FCC
encouraged them to use these frequencies because shortwave listeners are
at the bottom of the barrel when it comes to interference from licensed
stations such as CODAR. The current FCC chairman doesn't seem to care
about the possible interference from the proposed BPL systems, so I
doubt he's concerned about CODAR interference to shortwave listeners.
