The problem is on the U.S. side of the border. Note that the carriers that we hear on 14.275 and 14.273 are coming from Michigan, and not from British Columbia. Note also that the rebroadcasts of VE7KFM are coming from Michigan, and not from British Columbia. Note that the FCC is refusing to take enforcement action on certain amateurs in the United States, who are intentionally jamming 14.275, and are rebroadcasting VE7KFM on 14.275, without ID'ing, and are occasionally broadcasting music on 14.275. I think it would be fair to say that the Federal Communications Commission has demonstrated, without any doubt, that it is refusing to enforce amateur radio (Section 97) rules. All that is required of the FCC is that it pull the licenses and impose monetary forfeitures of the hams that are a) transmitting carriers without identifying on 14.275, b) broadcasting music and tones on 14.275, c) rebroadcasting VE7KFM on 14.275, without identifying, and d) maliciously QRMing VE7KFM and anyone he tries to talk to. Apparently, the FCC is rather gutless, and doesn't want to get involved. That's my take after listening to some of this BS for a year.
