that is bad to hear ,i wish westcoast all the best
i have put a warning on the board here for a while
that 3927 khz is used by the airforce ,there was a guy from the airforce that have send me this mail


hello guys yesterday i was broadcasting on the 76 mtr band
with around the 500 watts of power , the propagation was realy good
there were lots of reports from europe

today i got a email from a man from the uk with serious info
here is a copy of that mail


Hi Rinus

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, new listener, but not for the right reasons.

I was listening to 'Plymouth Air Safety' on ssb, 3924 last night when
your carrier came up. 'Plymouth Air Safety' is a aeronautical traffic
separation unit run by the Royal Air Force for aircraft in the Plymouth
area on exercise.

Much as I love your transmissions, I feel that maybe you might want to
move away from this important frequency for safety reasons.

Your 6300 frequency is very close to Norway Navy frequency link on
6298.5khz too although 6305 seems clear of any important traffic.


I mention this because if I heard your S9 plus transmissions affecting
safety frequencies, you can be sure that the military were having the
same problem!

Keep yourself and others safe


so radio operators watch out where you put your transmitter down
this time i got a email , next time who knows

chaps.. I have often heard the SSB traffic in clear, ie not encrypted, and often worried about the use of 3927 by the Dutch stations. The traffic heard is from Plymouth Rescue and associated traffic. (Southern UK).

I certainly would avoid the frequencies close by there. Remember Laser were warned off even 3930 a few years back.

I would be happy to personally use the higher area of the 41m band again, if the propagation improves and allows reception of the signals again. For the moment it is useless though I think, for this type of operation.

ps: It would be nice if the relevant authorities had e mailed the station causing the problem. I am sure they would have closed straight away..
Almost all stations now have e mail addresses for instant contact
