A recent issue of the IARU Monitoring System newsletter reports that the intruder situation on 10 meters is getting worse as the Maximum Usable Frequency or M-U-F continues to rise in Solar Cycle 24.
The report said that it found much CB-like traffic using AM, FM and SSB between 28 and 29.7 MHz in September and again in October 2011. It pegs Europe, Brazil and the Far East as the primary originating points for most of the illegal 10 meter traffic. The report goes on to say that the band is also still filled with numerous taxi cabs operating FM.
