Hi Francesco and Paulo and many more, I will try to get our national radio amateur organization (EDR) to work through the Danish FCC to see if that can help. In fact I have already written and sent a letter with Paulos recording attached to EDR.
May be you could do the same via your national radio amateur organizations and your national FCC. The best thing is, as I see it, to document the "pirates" by a recording and attach the recording to your complaint to your national radio amateur organization. Send a formal complaint to your national radio amateur organization and ask them to complain to the national FCC. In the 2 meter band we are primary users therefor we have all rights to complain about the pirates and the Spanish authorities should enforce a stop to the problem.
As most of you have heard it is really bad both on AO-27 and AO-51.
On SO-50 it is difficult to hear what is going on since a CTCSS tone is needed to make it work. The problem on SO-50 is that we can not activate it - or the transponder closes in the middle of a QSO.
Let us try the official way first - if that does not work there are other ways :-) 73 OZ1MY Ib ----- Original Message ----- From: f.grappi@tin.it To: amsat-bb@amsat.org Sent: Friday, March 02, 2007 2:39 PM Subject: [amsat-bb] I: Re: Spanish Pirates on AO-27

Unfortunately our authorities seem to be more concerned about other matters to bother with ham radio.

Hi,
AO-27 is being continuously jammed by commercial
Spanish communications.
On a pass yesterday I was able to hear the
location of one of the person
talking on the uplink. He was near
Carmona, Sevilla, Spain. I wonder if
there are any measures being
taken by Spanish amateurs in order to stop
this kind of abuse.
I have uploaded an extract of the recording where one clearly hear
the
pirates saying Carmona.
