Sorry we haven't updated the blogs in ages, we ran out of storage space on SoundCloud and thus could not upload any more recordings. However recordings are being taken every day and we are presently looking for hosting so if anybody could help with that please get in touch at this email address - nfourmer (at) yahoo (dot) com - thanks.
So, the jamming has continued unabated, if anything it has got worse with music playing, stupid noises, obscenities etc heard constantly throughout the day and sometimes these incidents continue relentlessly for hours. There have been a few incidents with newly licensed M6 ex-CBers coming on making threats of violence and accusing certain people of jamming who we know for a fact are not responsible, also some older amateurs (who should really know better and be setting an example of how to behave on air) have been heard swearing and calling people names. Of course all these accusations are based on hearsay and are nothing but s**t-stirring and speculation with no proof, foundation or facts to back any of it up.
Also people still haven't got the message to IGNORE THE ABUSE. Every day various people are talking about the abuse or responding to the idiots or sometimes communicating with them! This is counter-intuitive as it gives them an audience / platform and only encourages them to persist with their behaviour. If the interference becomes so bad the QSO cannot continue then QSY so they have nobody to annoy. Let us re-iterate this point, if you hear anybody swearing, making stupid noises, keying up etc, please DO NOT RESPOND TO THEM OR EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR EXISTENCE AS IT ONLY MAKES THE SITUATION WORSE.
The abuse currently seems to be reaching another peak, it is certainly the worst we have heard it for many years now, possibly since DY came on air.
Maybe it is time for a cooling off period as has happened with other repeaters in the country, but this process seems highly unfair as again it's the lawful users who will suffer. If anybody has any reasonable ideas as to possibly setting up some way for people to pool information, logs, recordings etc online then again please contact us - nfourmer (at) yahoo (dot) com - many thanks.
