I know this subject has come up before. There are bootleg radios and operators that are operating on 28.105. There is nothing we as legal operators can do about it. There aren't enough officials to hunt this down, and quite frankly, I imagine this is not a major thing for them. But for us, the VARA TNC sees the traffic as "busy", plus the signals are QRMing legitimate VarAC traffic.
How difficult of a troup movement would it be to change the slots for 10 meters? Yes we are legal and they are not. But the bootleg stuff isn't going away. And with 10 meters being in really good shape right now, the QRM is likely to get worse.
