[K3PZN-List] Digital Stations Occupy Club Simplex

[Jim]

Larry, TMARC does not coordinate simplex frequencies or at least didtnt when I was on the board. So you may not get a very good response from them

CCARC: 

There are digital stations that have occupied the Club simplex frequency 146.475 Mhz. The digital transmissions are not Yaesu Fusion digital, my FT-1D portable can not decode the transmissions. It seems to me that the digital may be D-Star. The transmissions are strong in Westminster with hint of activity coming out of the Baltimore area. One of the stations transmits a CW ID, unfortunately for me, the ID happens quickly and my rusty cw just can't catch it. 

So, it would be nice if everyone could tune to 146.475 and try to get the CW ID of the stations and an approximate location with your beams. If anyone has D-Star capability, try to gather station call signs. CCARC has been using 146.475 as the Club simplex frequency for ARES/RACES operations for 30 years. Having gathered station identification may help us to respectfully ask those users to move to a different frequency. If it is a repeater operation, we may get T-MARC involved.
