Just now (0420 GMT) the jammer was S8 between 7166 and 7185. Almost 20 kHz of the phone band is being wiped out.

This subject comes up regularly on eHam, amfone, and QRZ.

I'm sure the ARRL already knows about this. Can anything be done about this?


EDIT (0600 GMT): Now the jammer is wiping out 7225 through 7237. (This is the highest frequency that I have observed them at.)
