So finally DY is back and it is fantastic to hear it once again alive and in use. It appears so far that the levels of abuse are right down at a minimum compared to the pandemonium occurring just before the repeaters 2-month long hiatus. Although there has been a number of whispering wallies making appearances however, they have been mostly benign and their comments only mildly annoying in sharp contrast to the vicious bile-filled rhetoric that was spewing forth previously.
This afternoon did have an incident of note where several of these whispering weirdoes were present. They were exchanging sounds and comments when one of them repeatedly mentioned a name and address, there was a short pause then another voice mentioned a different name and address and also a callsign. Presumably they were revealing each others identities to provoke the other into retaliation but everything soon went quiet again.
Just to re-iterate a previous point and to echo the advice given by the licensing authority, if people can withhold from commenting or replying to these minor disturbances (notwithstanding it is in fact a breach of your licence to engage with an unidentified station) then it is likely they will get bored and go away. On the whole since it's re-establishment the repeater has been used properly and the QSO's have been pleasant to listen to. Many thanks to the repeater group and let's hope it continues in a positive direction.
