Luckily in Europe we don't seem to be affected by intruders other than people who will insist on using the PSK frequency for every digital mode known to man. They seem to regard 14.070 as being the place where they can call CQ while they try out every club in the bag. They are completely unaware, or disregard the fact that this small section of frequency is for PSK, and that if they wish to try their new toy they should be operating in the frequencies which are suggested should be used.
However on 30 metres, which is now being used more than it ever has been since 1988, there are French and east European CB'ers using 10.140, as well as the RTTY boys and other unusual communication modes. Thirty metres is a vast area of unused frequencies, which had lain idle for years, but now that interest has been raised on using the band everybody drops on 10.140. A month ago there was even an IQ zero placing music from a BC station, he sounded like a Russian. It also seems to be a magnet for the occasional lunatic who creates QRN and an awful raspy noise, what this is...... who knows. Kind regards, Mel G0GQK
