26.750 MHz 26750 kHz - FM carrier on frequency during "idle" non-paging periods (very heavy QRM)
26.755 MHz 26755 kHz - Paging signals, pretty frequent use, but not nonstop like 26,695 and 26,745
26.785 MHz 26785 kHz - POCSAG - various bandwidths and signal strengths noted
26.800 MHz 26800 kHz - POCSAG pager signals, very busy at points
26.815 MHz 26815 kHz - Pager signals mixing with weak FM voice on frequency, nonstop signals just like 26.695MHz and 26.745MHz

26.850 MHz 26850 kHz - Sporadic POCSAG signals noted
26.885 MHz 26885 kHz - Sporadic POCSAG, extremely strong wide band paging signal 18 kHz BW!!
26.900 MHz 26900 kHz - Very strong POCSAG on frequency
26.950 MHz 26950 kHz - Narrowband POCSAG signals, other data link signals noted
27.300 MHz 27300 kHz - POCSAG paging signals basically nonstop on this frequency
27.350 MHz 27350 kHz - Narrow band POCSAG noted 27,350kHz 27.35 MHz
27.360 MHz 27360 kHz - Sporadic POCSAG paging signals, heavy CB radio QRM 27.355 MHz and 27.365 MHz
27.425 MHz 27425 kHz - POCSAG signals noted at 1546 UTC and 1547 UTC
27.450 MHz 27450 kHz - FM carrier during idle periods, POCSAG paging and other data also on frequency
27.475 MHz 27475 kHz - Narrowband paging signals - 6-7 kHz wide BW, fair to weak signals
27.500 MHz 27500 kHz - POCSAG, 12-13 kHz wide signals, very similar to 27.505 MHz signals
27.505 MHz 27505 kHz - POCSAG pager signals on frequency, center frequency varies, 27.504 MHz, 27.5055 MHz, 27.506 MHz..
27.510 MHz 27510 kHz - 20 kHz wide POCSAG signals noted, also narrowband 6-8 kHz wide signals on frequency
27.550 MHz 27550 kHz - POCSAG signals, no doubt causing havoc on 27.555 MHz USB
27.650 MHz 27650 kHz - POCSAG paging signals, similar to those noted on 26 MHz band
27.750 MHz 27750 kHz - POCSAG noted, idle FM carrier when no paging signal being sent
