was listening on 20 meters.....
dumazzes were delibertly QRMing them.
they ended up working split

Yeah there have been a lot of racist remarks made while QRMing them too. People like that should be able to be targeted with a lightning strike.

That's what happens when they put 1 of the freq's right next to 14.313

real shame people cant have some integrity and keep the freq clear

Hmmm, I have serious issues with A Holes QRM'ING E comms.

 

[Captain Kilowatt]

I have serious issues with A Holes in general.

 

[Singularity35]

That qrm'ing is just sad.

14.313?? IARU bulletins state 14.210 to 14.215. Now would be a good time for a little extra FCC enforcement around that part of the band.

o ok The info i was given was to keep the following frequencies clear
14.310, 14.210, & 7.100 looks to be old info now

I could be wrong too as I was just r3peating what I saw somewhere on the net. There could very well be other freqs. but I thought it unusual to have a couple freqs. in th3 same band unless they were Red Cross fre1s. etc. I just didn't see 14.310 mentioned but could have missed. My VFO tends to skip 14.310 to 14.315 too.

QRZ is saying 14.300 for ecoms on Nepal, I tuned in this afternoon, friend was over and he asked about it so we listened for a few minutes, they were still having issues with QRM.
