Yeti Radio 6925 kHz LSB 1723 UTC 23 Dec 2017
« on: December 23, 2017, 1727 UTC »
Yeti Radio / Yetti Radio ID heard

Came on the air right as Radio Illuminati started playing "I'll Wait"

This has intentional QRM / jamming written all over it

1729 UTC - distorted "Yeti Radio" ID into "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree"
1731 UTC - appears to be changing frequency or moving the VFO around
1732 UTC - OFF

S7 and good modulation with christmas tunes, causing QRM to Illuminati on 6920AM.  6925 USB would be a better choice.

Yes, unfortunately this does seem to be the case. The excuse "I didn't know he was on" doesn't seem to work anymore. Especially because he chose 6925 LSB, vs the usual USB, to maximize the QRM. It was willful.

 ;D Better to have QRM than Pekies or white noise. But, sideband transmissions should I think, attempt to be consistent with USB maybe being better. LSB and that close to an AM (double dipper) could cause some trials and tribulations.

It's too bad this stuff goes on - gone are the days when Pirate ops were true brothers in arms.

 Remember 41 meter band radio always has a skip zone. You can easily see this by wide variation of SWLers to various stations at various times of day. Maybe just didn't hear. That's the devil's advocate speaking..
