We really appreciate your participation on the nets, and its great to hear that you have others who like to listen. If they are uncomfortable checking in, we understand. For those who are reluctant to get on the air, they can always check in early. Good luck with your repeater!!!

Regarding the jammer, I wish we could shut them down. The FCC has the responsibility for this task, but their limited resources allow them to only go after the really big abusers. These guys (the jammers) usually don't stay on the air long enough for us to get a fix on their location, although we try. We have caught some and will continue to keep working on this.

And, to all those who are hearing a "hum", we are continuing to sort out this problem.

As far as the hum goes, I never heard it when listening to you using a PC, or using my Android phone, or Android tablet, or through my -L or -R, when I used, or when I use them, unless I connect an external speaker to the Android tablet, or if I connect the Android tablet to the AUX jack of the stereo, then I did, or do, hear the hum, and I just thought that it was the frequency response of the external speaker, or maybe the stereo, or both.
I'm just mentioning this if it would be of any help, or in case it would be of any help to you, or if it would give you guys an idea of what to do.
However, my ears can sometimes hear a sub-audible PL tone, if it's a certain frequency, but it is very quiet, and not sure why I can hear it, but I think that my stereo picks up the PL tone and it gets sent through to the speakers on my stereo.
Anyway, I can only hear the hum, when I do have the Android tablet connected to my AUX jack on my stereo system.

Oh yes, one more thing, I am living on a very limited budget, and can't afford to do much of the things that you guys do, and/or I do not have the money to buy off road vehicles, and things like that, so I don't really get much of a chance to do most of the things that are spoken about, so I can't really add to the conversation on the topics very often, since I don't usually get a chance to do what you guys do, but I do like to listen, and so do others around here sometimes, and actually, I discovered that someone had been streaming the audio from my Echolink station on Broadcastify, but by the time I found out about it, none of the recordings were available any more, and/or I could not tell who it was that had been streaming my Echolink over Broadcastify, so who knows who was listening to it...

Have A Nice Day,
