ACDS and ALE Stations
I tend to agree in part with Theodore Rappaport in his assertions about interference from these types of stations. I don't think an amateur operator in the U.S. exists that operates in the 20 or 40-meter band digital mode segments that haven't received interference from these types of stations. They will suddenly appear and transmit right on top of ongoing QSOs regardless of the frequency already being in use. I just experienced exactly that 2 nights ago when participating in the Feld Hell Club's 40-meter band net on 7084.50 kHz (7083 VFO frequency with a 1500 hertz audio frequency). That's happened to me numerous times regardless of the digital mode I'm using.
