While observing the captures from my work site, I noticed that the receiver went very deaf around 1400 UTC. On arriving home, I was greeted with an awful racket, and on tuning around, found a very loud FSK station below Mitch's frequency. By the signal strength, it can only be CFH, and the frequencies on my Argo screen are 137.038 and 136.961 kHz. This is NOT good news if we're going to get a ham band down here! I'll be out this evening, but I wonder if any of you on this side of the pond could DF the station and confirm my observations. If Joe, VO1NA, is around, his receiver should be melting down.
