Hello –

Folks, the data we’re collecting regarding jamming in the
metropolitan area is extremely important.  We need quantity.  In other
words, constant reports from everyone who is experiencing jamming on
VHF and UHF as it’s happening.

We are only interested in MALICIOUS INTERFERENCE.  While it is an
issue, we are not looking for RFI issues at this time, or unintentional
interference.  Only malicious issues.

We are collecting current data, as and while it occurs.  I need reports
from everyone.  And I need them now.

We’ve received some data, but not nearly enough.  I have seen
received a few complaints of frustration.  Believe me, I share your
frustration.  However, we’ve been presented with a golden opportunity
by Rep. King’s letter.  An opportunity that we haven’t had
previously.  Being a nay-sayer is counterproductive, and wastes our
time.

As angry as we all are, I need you to overcome your feelings of
hopelessness and despair regarding jamming, suck it up, and help us try
to do something positive!  I have heard thousands of complaints over the
past decade.  I need to hear those same complaints right now, as they
happen.

I promise you nothing in return.  But if we don’t get the
overwhelming support from you, the membership, that I know we can, and
that has been asked for, then we blow an opportunity that we may not
get again, which I do NOT want to do.

So once again I ask all of you to listen and report.  Listen and
report.  LISTEN and REPORT!  LISTEN AND REPORT!

And please do it all the time, every day, every frequency.  (If
you’re a scanner buff, I’d like reports from there, too.)

If you sponsor or own a repeater, or are a trustee, or a repeater club,
and have information that you’ve gathered over the years, including
logs, audio recordings, etc., please email it under separate cover to
endhudsonjamming at gmail.com.  Do not use the online form for that.  The
online form is only for developing a log of current malicious
interference.

Let’s put an end to our hostage crisis.

Tnx es 73 de Mike N2YBB
