Has everyone been hearing all the trucking activity on 10 lately? I
listened to 3 truckers running together, transmitting on 28515, for over 4
hrs yesterday. They were running WIDE am, never mentioning company names.
They prob got their rigs from www.copper.com or some other company
specializing in sellin illegal equipment right under the fcc's nose. Check
out www.texasstar.com too. They have their "cw transmitters" in various
sizes up to 800 watts. No wonder 10 mtrs has so much illegal activity. They
need to shut "Old man Copper" down. He sells 10 mtr am only "channelized"
rigs dirt cheap to anyone with $$. Tired of all the trash...

Late this afternoon, I was driving down I-24 in southern Illinois, and
trying to listen to the last story on NPR's "All Things Considered",
their story about the shortwave "numbers stations", on WSIU-91.9FM.

As a semi passed, he keyed down his CB.

His fourth harmonic completely clobbered WSIU-FM.

I have a 50-watt transmitter on 29.6MHz **in my car**. It causes
absolutely ZERO interference to FM BC reception.

You can guess how much power this semi was running....
