Hi Allan,
Over the past week, we've had an unlicensed operator on the MMRA 145.43 Belmont repeater.  He identifies as "Dean" and claims he lives in Milton or used to live in Milton (the story changes).  He also claims to be 57.  He uses the callsign W2RFW, which is not in the ULS database.  He appears to engage in normal ham conversation, and other than the fact that he is unlicensed, does not appear to be causing any interference or exhibiting any inappropriate behavior.

There is a Dean, age 88, in Milton with the callsign W2RWF.  I have spoken to the real Dean on the phone.   He assures me he is inactive.  His voice is markedly difference from the operator we hear on '43.

If you hear this individual on-the-air, please do not engage him.  If you would like to do a check on the input to report his signal strength at your location, please send what you find to contact at mmra.org.

We'd be also interested in hearing if he has surfaced on other repeaters.

Please feel to distribute this message to other ham-related mailing lists in the Boston area.
