What should you do when you encounter abuse?

    Do not respond to it. Experience suggests that abusers want an audience, so ignore them. Remember that you may be breaking your own licence conditions if you correspond with someone who is breaking the terms of their licence or who does not have a licence or if you try to deny them access by keying your microphone.
    Do not approach or confront them.
    If abuse occurs frequently, make a note of it. Write down essential details such as the date, time, frequency, location, mobile or fixed, what form the abuse took and any other factors that you think might be useful.
    Maintain this log in order to build up a pattern of the abuser's operations.
    Make sure the information you collect is precise and accurate.

Can I please ask you not provoke the interference as a repeater group we are dealing with the interference which occurs mainly on the Monday Night Net, RSGB News and GB2CW. Please logit with signal strengths, noise anything unusual you may hear about the signal. Send you reports to
