John, are we allowed use of 40 meters on a secondary basis? Wasn't this one
of the reasons the FCC under Johnson reduced output power to 1500 PEP rather
than 2 KW PEP. That showed the overseas broadcasters we were cooperating.
I know many years ago they complained mightily about the hams in Region 2
were over riding the broadcast stations.

Just get on 40 meters and consider it a challenge to communicate over
the broadcasting stations. You have as mush right to be there as them.
Start up talking to you neighbor running as much as you can to a low
angle radiator. Be sure your not zero beat. Don't think for a minute
that the heterodyne you cause won't be heard over seas. That should
start an inquiry. Then again, they would probably just take 40 meters
away from us.
