We get those if the bird is to the north-west, but the rest of the region is
relatively clear.

That's a pain. :(  Seems to be a worldwide problem.  One common form of Asian
QRM is those long range cordless phones.  We had one find its way into the
country illegally, and got the authorities to get it removed (after  a few of
us tracked it down), but when uo-14 is over Asia, you hear what sounds like
dozens of phone conversations all mixed in...

One thing that makes 2m uplinks a pain. :(
