Regarding some of the net and QRM issues mentioned in the attached post,
the ARRL Volunteer Monitor organization can easily deal with deliberate
interference to nets. Remember, NO ONE or NO ORGANIZATION owns any
frequency on any band.
Likewise, hams who have a Tech or General class license are very easy
hunting when operating in the Advanced or Extra frequency segment of any
band.
A good operator, selecting 3 kHz above or below any net is good
operating practice. For those that insist on transmitting wide band
audio, do so at your on risk.

Steve,
Yeah, we got chased away from 3775 by a persistent adjacent GA net
meeting at the same time on 3778. You'd think we could co-exist, but
one station in GA on there insisted on overdriving his amplifier causing
splatter +-5 kHz either side of what should have been a nominal 3
kHz-wide channel.
Rather than start a cat-fight on the air (or by email) we decided the
batter part of valor was to move elsewhere.
3784 kHz has been good for us the last several weeks, but last night at
least a half-hour before our net time, there was a conversation going on
there between two stations, one of which was signing an "F6" (France)
call sign, so my guess is they were speaking French, which is not my
forte, by any stretch of the imagination.
It turned out that 3781 was clear, and remained so for us, so we moved
down 3 kHz and operated the net there. I've been using (mis-using?)
Netlogger, and when I start up the net, I post the current frequency, so
if you go to the Netlogger site during net time, you should be able to
find us quite easily.
I'd really like to move us into the General portion of the band, so more
folks can join in, but that's a tough job on 80 meters, even on a
Sunday. Generally that portion of the band is wall-to-wall with nets
and scheduled conversations (old friends, etc) during the evening hours
all days of the week. The ARRL net directory is not very friendly for
searches, like "what frequencies are NOT in use in the General portion
of the band on Sundays at 9pm ET".
Suggestions for how to solve that mystery are welcome (I do have a P3,
and know how to use it, just to head off the more obvious replies). 😄
