4. Hello Larry
Is the VFW repeater 145.270 not supposed to be used. I responded to a cq call. I spoke to them off and on for about 20 minutes ID on the 10 minute Q. 73’s. KF0BFU.

#1 every hour on the hour, my squelch breaks listening to 145.27 ... If you listen hard, it is a repeater identifying on the hour. I can only pick out 1-2 syllables. But it always breaks my squelch.. I've been hearing it for a month now..Very weak...
#2.. There is a QSO going one with W5's out of Oklahoma.. at my QTH they are S5 today..
#3.. Topeka comes in every morning at my QTH.. Sunrise to about 9am.. morning drive time.
#4. Blind Hams will obliterate those weak signals.. or Locals like "BFU" right now...
#5. I believe years ago I set the transmitter output with a DPL of 71 or 73.. At the time we were getting de-sense and I removed the 103.5 pl from the transitter so that it was not a component of any signal the transmitter was mixing with. SO if you are hearing distant repeaters on 145.27 and want to limit the chatter to only W0VFW's output... Let me know.. I may be the only one hearing distant repeaters because of height and location. Last checked REPEATERBOOK.COM there were 4 repeaters on 145.27 within 250 miles of us.. 2 one in kansas and one in OKlahoma both with the same 88.0 PL...
