What I've been hearing on AO-27 sounds like simplex chatter. No squelch tail, etc. Unless we are hearing the input side of a repeater (the users). They seem to show up just about every day in the afternoon, and I can never understand the callsigns when they give them.

I heard some random non-sat related chatter recently on AO-27, as well as some odd blocking on SO-50. I haven't gone back in monitor mode, though. If it starts to be a big problem again, I suppose can start recording the "good" pass on AO-27 like last time. Good point about CTCSS, Drew.

Has anyone heard that rogue repeater thru AO-27 recently? I
received a
phone call from Riley this afternoon, following up on my
complaint about
the repeater, and he wanted to know if it was still on the air.
It is
located too far from my home QTH to hear directly, and my
satellite
antennas are down at the moment. The one time I *did* hear it
on the
ground (early October), I was out mobile and much closer to it
than when I
am at home, but I haven't been up that way (northern suburbs of
Chicago)
for quite a while.

John,
In the last situation, it took me several weeks of recording the passes before I finally got a callsign. I can start recording again. I'll try to own this problem, assuming it's happening again. If anyone gets a good recording of a callsign, could they please email it on to me, along with date and time? I'll contact the responsible operator and then forward to Riley if it seems necessary. If it's the "Mexican Taxis" there's not a lot we can do.
