There is a repeater on 145.670 (D-Star) in the Dallas area https://w5fc.org/tag/fsq/
It makes using XW-2A nearly impossible as it is right in the passband.
Who in the world thought it was a good idea to put a D-STAR repeater (simplex) in the middle of a satellite downlink passband?
Does this comply with any existing ARRL Band Plan, on other words is this a shared resource with D-Star? If so, I guess it's just tough luck and live with it. If not, perhaps someone from AMSAT can have a word with the Trustee?
