Re: interference on 3950

But most do not use the reflector- Perhaps a wider distribution of this to the general ham population is needed? If folks do not know where we are, no newbies come by - Hence we don't grow in numbers- And seasoned members drop off-

That's why we have a reflector at our disposal... Good for mass communications.? Not that we have many check-ins anymore, but if PGW is unwilling to cause willful interference and not check-in at all, then I think we need to be decisive about implementing a
solution.? We all have VFO's for a reason.? Let's use them to our advantage!

If we move too far from 3.952 LSB then most won't know where we moved to- Or bother looking- That is what killed off the GLETN many years ago-?
That change if permanent will need to have? a wide dispersal of that change-
Not knowing where we move to will be not a good thing if permanent - JB

would like to see us move away from 3952. I have taken the net to 3960/3962/3965 in the recent past.? Even though there may be a troublemaker who wants to reserve that bandwidth as his own personal property (even though he's not actually using the frequency)
I've found it to be a significant improvement.?

About a dozen or so nets I got on 3950 about 20 minutes before the net- here are my observations.
I have heard the raucous noise they complain about when you call the net- and they really are having an ongoing qso.? The splatter from above covers them up completely.
The general comments- "the idiots are back again.."??
When you call "is the frequency in use?" on 3952, all they hear is something that resembles a loud thunder.? No amount of filtering or i.f shift cleans it up. I've tried.? By the time somebody comes up to complain on 3952- you're half way through the net.?
I heard ZCM just fly off the handle and engage them then with obscenities.. when the guy had a LEGITIMATE complaint.
You say that you cannot hear them.? I can.? Very well.? Maybe I have a better antenna.. I don't know.??
In my opinion- we've made an enemy.? They will now engage you with your behavior.? Mark called up higher on the band to avoid this the other day- there was incessant tuning up when I tried to pass traffic.? I wonder where that was from..
I think that you have them so angry that they will chase you up and down the band to deliver paybacks.?
This kind of infighting among hams, obscenities, bad behavior.. is what kept me away from the microphone for a very long time.? I don't need this kind of drama.??
I think that it is too late to make peace with these guys- you have one of the callsigns- maybe it is worth a try?
If not, go ahead and fight it out among yourselves.? I cannot participate with the MACS net under current circumstances.? I'll just deliver DTN traffic myself if I have to.
