[SkyHub] NEED FOXHUNTERS! Interfering signal to Bailey Park County affiliated repeater.

Wed Sep 27 17:43:15 EDT 2023

The FCC likely won’t do much as it isn’t interfering with commercial or
public safety services.

I could throw something together to DF it but too busy with work right now,
maybe if it’s still there over the weekend.

The Denver foxhunt group just put it on their mailing list today, and I’d
expect to hear from one of them soon. The people over there are pretty
talented and can usually locate things within a few hours.
