Does anybody else hear the chatter on channel 9?

[Lo/Dx Frontier]

In my area I am hearing a group of people speaking spanish on channel 9 about every evening. They seem to just be acting idiotic. I don’t speak spanish but I can tell what they are saying is simply repeating the same phrase or few words over and over again at times, like the guy keys up and goes on for 10 seconds just saying the same one or two words, repetitively. At other times they just make random, senseless noises, not speaking at all, just la la la kinda stuff over and over.

Whoever it is, they run so much power that they bleed across multiple channels. I can pick them up on channels 7 through 13, very staticky, and on channel 9 really clearly. It seems their transmissions come from channel 9 and bleed over on the other channels. Does anyone else hear it? I figure if they’re using a lot of power, maybe I’m not the only one who hears them. I guess it doesn’t much matter about using channel 9 because it’s not likely being monitored for emergencies anyway. But with these guys doing this, it makes it unusable, as well as the adjacent channels.

That's exactly right, the Spanish super bowl.
While on 6 you get the by bye bye breaker breaker, on 9 it's the noise toys and music courtesy of Mr X. Big powa!

@Lo/Dx Frontier
yes some bleed over several channels

I often hear heavy Spanish activity on 9 and 5 with very little else heard besides the locals on other channels. Even the big gun stations on 6 or 11 are relatively quiet. From my location near Buffalo, that is a sign the skip has gone long, mainly into Central or South America. There are shenanigans on 9 just like all the other channels, but I’m hearing mostly business communications on those frequencies.

Decades ago, operators south of the border figured out which channel was not jammed with english-speaking "el norte's". Turns out that American CBers mostly complied with the "emergency only" channel for the last few sunspot cycles. It's the only channel clear enough for local use down there when the skip is heavy.
