Terrible Repeater QRM on AO-92 at 15:40z
I wouldn't mix this together with purposeful QRM, which is a separate problem.
From previous recordings, we think it's the W1GLO repeater causing the
trouble ( or someone crossbanding it). It is on echolink and has a live stream:

Maybe somone can set something up to record the repeater during satellite passes so we can prove or disprove it.
This would be a good youtube link to send the W1GLO club as well.

Question: most repeaters are coordinated by a local organization...(not just the owner of the box)
Would it not be prudent to approach the local coordinating committee? The recording strongly suggests that the voices are actual hams engaged in 'ham talk' (as opposed to a taxi !) The recording strongly suggests the source is a repeater. The ARRL publishes a Repeater Guide. Has anyone searched that database for a possible conflicting frequency? Also, I get an email from ARRL every Thursday. Maybe AMSAT honchos could draft a message for ARRL to include in the weekly ARRL email, outlining the issue and asking for input from members.
Just thinking out loud..
