> The Minuteman Repeater Association (MMRA) has been tracking down a repeat offender, a Pirate/Bootlegger.
>  
> This person was using the call W2RFW (“Dean, from Milton”) a few months ago; the real Dean, W2RWF (note the reversal of letters) has verified that it was not him.  When he was revealed to be a pirate, he switched to the call KC3JLY (“Curtis”) and has recently been heard on the Quincy 146.670 repeater.  The real KC3JLY (in Bangor PA)  has been contacted and assures us that it is not him.   This offender has been reported to the FCC.
>  
> Be aware that you should not engage with this imposter, as it is contrary to FCC Part 97 rules  If you hear him, ignore him. 
>  
> However, even though we have a log of some of these transmissions IF YOU DO HEAR HIM please log whatever you can.  If possible, switch to the input of the repeater and log the signal strength and your location and time.  This may help us locate the pirate.  The MMRA Board of Directors has confirmed these findings.
