I was parked on the bluff above the Port Washington, WI harbor on Lake
Michigan, and heard two stations communicating in what sounded like a
digitized or scrambled mode. I could hear the inflections in their voices
but
not understand them.

I don't recall what channel it was. No problems hearing the USCG or other
small
fishing boats.
