Hi all, Right now AO-51 is running with a second repeater, for QRP stations here over Europe. Yesterday and today I have listened - and the uplink is partially blocked by a station in the south of Ukraine or somewhere with the same latitude. Yesterday with a long conversation in a language that sounded like Russian to me. Today there was nobody talking but a clean carrier from the same region.
BUT - there were stations in Arab ? from North Africa ? The usual QRM from misuse in Spain - when AO-51 had cleared that in a more northern position it works very well even with my QRP station with 3 W and an omnidirectional antenna :-)
I would very much appreciate help to identify and stop the problem. As it is now, QRP stations will have a very hard time using the second repeater.
Please no flames - I just try to make AO-51 more usefull to all of us. 73 OZ1MY Ib
