I used to think it was guys sitting in a plane at some small airport or FBO. Out of EWR, it is God-awful headed south for the first half-hour. Then, it would fade...implying it was out of range.
But yesterday, it followed me for three hours out of IAH, headed to Europe.

The best option is to ignore the behavior so it will not get the reaction that the perpetrators are looking for. They will get bored eventually (or caught) by the FCC’s enforcement bureau with their sophisticated D/F equipment.

You're right in that it's much quieter out West. Once I get east of about STL it's incredible how much nonsense there is. But please, leave your condescension towards RJ guys out of this.

We were in a south central TX area recently, virtually nobody on Center besides our mainline 737 flight, the rest were RJ's. Guard was full of J.O.'s with every retread transmission (IMHO, transmissions are acceptable if they are damn funny and come from true creative talent). the Transmissions were clear, they weren't bleed over from south KS. There is also something easily identifiable with early 20 something humor. Trust me, I was a J.O. with 20 something humor once.

Simple solution...
FAA/FCC should just designate one freq as the chatter freq so that people have a place to shoot the breeze. Kind of like the trucker's channel #19 on CB radio. All of the garbage and nonsense will most likely be confined there and not on the emergency freq.
