Continuing repeater abuse in London

Repeater users in the London area will be aware that abuse continues to mar the network with a minority making it unpleasant for those who simply wish to enjoy the hobby.

The East London 2m repeater, GB3EL, has been suffering from abuse recently and the Keeper has instigated a curfew between the 6pm and 6am to reduce the instances of abuse.

This action has proven effective in the past and the RSGB Emerging Technologies Committee and Ofcom support the Keeper's actions.

The ETCC encourages proactive measures by all Keepers to manage their repeaters in accordance with the terms of their NoVs.

Users are especially asked to consider their own actions and not to react when abuse is heard, as this is just what abusers are hoping will happen
