How To Deal With Lids And Jammers

Show Notes (contains affiliate links): How To Deal With Lids And Jammers

 

On this week's episode of Ham Radio Crash Course, a podcast roughly

based on amateur radio but mostly made up of responding to emails from

listeners, hosted by Josh Nass - KI6NAZ and his reluctant wife, Leah -

KN6NWZ, we talk about getting an android tablet, flood preparedness and dealing with lids and jammers. 

 

Have a drink with us! Today, we’re drinking… Summer Margaritas with a hot take on Grand Mariner. 

 

Josh has a short tip with the Ham Radio Minute: Get an android tablet.

Show Topic: Dealing with lids and jammers:

• Don’t engage
  • They want to get a rise out of you
  • Hopefully they will move on
  • Find something ANYTHING else to do (HF, VHF Simplex?)
  • Don’t go on a tirade
  • In this case citing scripture didn’t bring the lid to Jesus
• But what if they are doing it enough that you and the whole repeater has HAD IT
  • Learn the inverse trick on your radio
    • MONITOR IT, let the lid talk
    • Coordinate the effort OFF the repeater
    • Record the lid, determine who can hear them on the inverse
  • Use the inverse to pinpoint their location
• The DFing can begin
  • You will need a yagi and possibly an offset attentuator
  • Multiple hams lightens the load.  Lots of people triangulating
• You found them, now what?
  • Don’t want to knock on doors?
    • Send them a letter (include with FCC)
  • Notify the FCC
    • Hopefully you have recordings?
  • Figuring out their name from the address should be enough
    • Social media is always an option

Thank you all for listening to the podcast.  We have a lot of fun making it and the fact you listen and send us feedback means alot to us!
