between channels
 

Last night, 17 May '04 from about 0145z to QRT at 0155z, heard R.
Exterior de Espana playing classical music on 11683.0 thru QRM on both
sides. With USB sync detector on Sat800 they were Q5, S8 in upstate New
York.
Question is...why is a big gun like R. Ext. de Espana in between
the normal 5khz spacing rather than insisting on a normal frequency ?

Two possibilities come to mind. (1) image from another freq (2) dirty
transmitter that is spilling signal. (1) is more likely unless they are
supposed to be on a nearby freq.
