I haven't operated my bitx40 on 7277 for several Sunday evenings now because of the strong SW broadcast station on 7275. I don't have a notch filter to get rid of the 2KHz tone screaming out of my speaker. I have used my KX3 (with notch filter) to monitor 7277 at times, but notching a piece of audio at 2KHz does degrade intelligibility. So I haven't had much fun lately with my bitx40, back to using my KX3. Next Sunday if 7277 is unusable, I will try 7285 if it is clear and see how that goes (there is usually a net that occupies it until 7pm or so ET). Last Sunday I took a listen on 7282, but a broadcast station came up on 7280 and caused the same problem as with 7277.? 73 - AL

I checked 7285 several times Sunday night and it was mostly clear. That is a QRP frequency often used by SOTA and other groups. 73, AL
