Virtually unusable, licensed remote frequencies

[engineer006]

Have two, dual freq. RPUs, sharing one freq., all in the 450-455 MHz range. Over the approximate past year, the signal from field remotes back to receiver, particularly when we move outside a 15-mile radius, becomes almost unusable. Constant stepping-on by myriad and largely unnamed sources has crippled our live remote broadcasts, or certainly reduced many to little more than phone capable. Aside from aesthetic appeal (some like a remote sound, others do not) any suggestions for remedy/alternative? Not for profit organizational structure eliminates high $$ solutions, but am I ever eager to hear what those experienced in this have to say. Are many others finding this to be the case? Suppose I should have prefaced questions with asking whether Eng-Tips supports Broadcast Engineering! Thanks in advance for your collective insights!
