[WIARC] public service traffic on 147.030

[w9dp at w9dp.us]

I would like to ask all club members to check your VHF equipment and make
sure it is not keying up without your input. This applies especially to
anyone that leaves their  radio on all the time and might have a scanner on
in the room with the your radio.

We are having an issue where a transmitter is transmitting on the 147.030
repeater input frequency, 147.630, and rebroadcasting public service
traffic. It is possible the audio source is a scanner and it sounds a lot
like the transmitter is keying with VOX, but there could be other reasons
the transmitter is keying up. The reason I am pretty sure it is a ham
transmitter is the repeater is being brought up by the  transmission, which
requires the 103.5 tone be present.

The station that is doing the rebroadcasting appears to be in or near Quincy
as a couple of stations in Quincy say it is full scale when they check the
repeater input.

At any rate, please check your station and make sure it is not you.

Thanks
