Re: [sarex] Nitwit hams

We have our share of stupidity here too.
Someone over in Staten Island has set up a repeater on 145.795 so you know
what that does to the regular iss down link.
A few months ago they blabed right through a school contact wondering "where
that was coming from"......Go figure.

  I didn't hear Suitsat yet, but I did hear some nitwit hams in Southwest
Ohio
  area talking on 145.99. I left a receiver on Saturday night to see what
would
  happen. I was rudely awakened 2:30 AM Sunday morning by a WA8 station
calling
  his buddy to see if they had heard it. Then all day Sunday there was sort of
a
  rountable of these stations talking about when it would pass by again and
etc.
  How stupid is that? I did not want to hear them so shut down monitoring for
  the sat. Chatting over a wide area on the weak signal freq. is about the
worst
  bonehead operating I could imagine. I think they were big sigs, as they
were
  coming in a handheld here from 40+ miles away. So they were probably heard
in
  space, too.

  Disgusted,
