N1JSM.  I  have been busy w summer stuff.  Quincy repeater is less active than normal.  IDK why people are not doing radio.   I have Alexa turn on the radio on my kitchen  table every morning 830am to noon and remind me to sign into various nets.  Try it!

NEAR-900 Activity - Where Has It All Gone? - Summary

"Roger(WA1NVC) Coulson" <wa1...@gmail.com>: Aug 29 02:53PM -0400 Glenn,   There has been a very high noise floor on the 902-928 MHz band everywhere for a long time. Lots of unlicensed junk there.   The noise floor tends to be lower at the band edges. Even at 902.0625 the noise floor is very high in the city.   You will notice that many of the repeaters use the same 902.0625 input to get away from the high noise floor higher up in the band. If you look at 900 MHz repeaters elsewhere in the country you will see the same thing.   Turn on your spectrum analyzer and take a look. The noise on 902-928 MHz is higher than the grass in your yard!!!   Roger WA1NVC     On 8/29/2022 11:49 AM, 'Glenn Shaw' via Near-900 wrote:

Jeff Lehmann <je...@aj1l.com>: Aug 29 07:53PM I forgot to mention that we have looked at the Boston situation with a service monitor/spectrum analyzer. The noise floor is high, even down there at 902.0625. Almost everywhere else, the high noise floor drops off like a cliff below 902.100.   I would be very interested to see what it looks like on another 900 antenna at a high Boston site besides OFC to see if it looks the same.
