So a couple of weeks on from the reappearance of DY and the abuse has also returned. A few individuals have been repeatedly targeted, and very personal comments made where sometimes even family members are mentioned.
One fiery-tempered operator from Sutton-in-Ashfield seems to find it absolutely impossible to ignore the idiots and responds every single time with his own abuse and threats of intimidation, violence, murder, etc. He has announced his own address and mobile telephone number on countless occasions challenging the abusers to go to his house. He was heard last week offering £100 to anybody who can give him a definite address of who has been continually goading him and asserts that when he finds out where his nemesis lives he will go round and commit various acts of violence upon their person. This kind of behaviour is of course no better than the abuse and just as illegal.
One name in particular and a location of Ironville, Derbyshire have been repeatedly mentioned, however once again it seems like sheer speculation as no actual evidence to support this was presented, just the usual claims of "we know it's him", "I recognise his voice", etc. In spite of the obvious fact to anybody listening that there are several abusers, not one.
To close it seems very appropriate to once again state that: WE ABSOLUTELY DO NOT CONDONE lynch-mob type behaviour or the carrying out of violence on suspected perpetrators as often those suspected are not really responsible.

GB3DY has returned once again!
So finally DY is back and it is fantastic to hear it once again alive and in use. It appears so far that the levels of abuse are right down at a minimum compared to the pandemonium occurring just before the repeaters 2-month long hiatus. Although there has been a number of whispering wallies making appearances however, they have been mostly benign and their comments only mildly annoying in sharp contrast to the vicious bile-filled rhetoric that was spewing forth previously.
This afternoon did have an incident of note where several of these whispering weirdoes were present. They were exchanging sounds and comments when one of them repeatedly mentioned a name and address, there was a short pause then another voice mentioned a different name and address and also a callsign. Presumably they were revealing each others identities to provoke the other into retaliation but everything soon went quiet again.
Just to re-iterate a previous point and to echo the advice given by the licensing authority, if people can withhold from commenting or replying to these minor disturbances (notwithstanding it is in fact a breach of your licence to engage with an unidentified station) then it is likely they will get bored and go away. On the whole since it's re-establishment the repeater has been used properly and the QSO's have been pleasant to listen to. Many thanks to the repeater group and let's hope it continues in a positive direction.

IS GB3DY EVER GOING TO COME BACK?
The box has been switched off for a month now with no sign of returning, so did OfCom finally do their job and order a cooling off period... well surely it would have been better to leave the repeater operational and actually GO OUT AND CATCH THE ABUSERS?!
It now seems the idiots have moved to the other local repeaters. The abuse, swearing and croaky voices have so far been regularly heard on:
GB3CF
GB3DC
GB3IN
GB3EE
GB3NM
It is truly unbelievable that the abuse could have carried on for the duration of time that it has without some kind of action from the authorites and it appears to indicate OfCom are but a far cry from the former Radio Investigation Service who actually got the job done by going out and catching these idiots in the act.
Just Friday 8th October morning PAUL G8JGF was heard arguing with a foul-mouthed cretin on GB3IN who threatened Paul with all manner of violence and goaded him to drive to Alport Heights for a fight. But instead of ignoring it as his license conditions state Paul repeatedly threatened him back and returned the abuse and their exchanges continued for over 15 minutes. Paul was heard shortly afterwards on the same repeater using the D-STAR mode talking to G0IZL asserting how 'hard' he is and boasting about what he would do to the abuser.

GB3DY Returns briefly & so do the jammers
At some point today or possibly yesterday the repeater was back on air, so either the keeper decided to switch off temporarily or maybe there was a technical fault which caused it to go down, we do not know for sure.
Unfortunately the jammers also returned today and during the evening subjected DY to a barrage of stupid noises, sore throat stupidity, mic keying and music playing. On a nice sunny day like today they could do something positive like spend time with their friends or family but instead they choose to behave like idiots. One must wonder if they were sat by their radios waiting for the repeater to re-appear. Why do they do it? The mind boggles...
A few days later however the repeater was switched off again. Hopefully more information to come soon.

GB3DY has been switched off!
Since the last update nothing has changed on DY and the abuse has been constant up until today.
Today started much the same as any other, with the morning net disrupted and Tim G6HRN as usual the main target of the squeakies who showered him with their now regular deluge of pig grunts, squeals and pork-related put-downs.
The abuse continued throughout the day and again as usual anybody who tried to use the repeater for a qso was met with a tirade of swearing, threats and abusive language.
Later on in the afternoon during a particularly hectic period, a large amount of iq-zeros were causing a great deal of havoc and many unidentified stations were transmitting, some claiming to be tracking down the abusers, others simply retaliating to the deviants who of course gave back ten-fold. There were mentions of a caravan and a location was given out several times where it was claimed abuse was emanating from, one of the squawking fools taunted hams to come and knock on the caravan door as they know where he lives but it was not clear if anybody did or not.
Around 5 o'clock after an afternoon of unremitting retardation one sore throated simpleton was babbling away to himself when the repeater seemed to go spookily silent, checks were made and it was found that it was impossible to rouse DY from its slumber, 15 minutes passed without any morse identification and then 30. This suggests the repeater has been turned off.
This is a rather unfortunate situation for the respectful users of DY, who we feel empathy towards in this situation but on the other hand maybe during a cooling off period the numb-skulls will find other avenues to let out their frustration. We have no information as to when DY will return but hopefully when it does these mindless idiots won't be around and those who want to operate with respect for each other can get on with using the repeater as it was intended.
Here are some links to youtube that contain audio of the final hours before the switch-off.

Update - 27th May 2010
Sorry we haven't updated the blogs in ages, we ran out of storage space on SoundCloud and thus could not upload any more recordings. However recordings are being taken every day and we are presently looking for hosting so if anybody could help with that please get in touch at this email address - nfourmer (at) yahoo (dot) com - thanks.
So, the jamming has continued unabated, if anything it has got worse with music playing, stupid noises, obscenities etc heard constantly throughout the day and sometimes these incidents continue relentlessly for hours. There have been a few incidents with newly licensed M6 ex-CBers coming on making threats of violence and accusing certain people of jamming who we know for a fact are not responsible, also some older amateurs (who should really know better and be setting an example of how to behave on air) have been heard swearing and calling people names. Of course all these accusations are based on hearsay and are nothing but s**t-stirring and speculation with no proof, foundation or facts to back any of it up.
Also people still haven't got the message to IGNORE THE ABUSE. Every day various people are talking about the abuse or responding to the idiots or sometimes communicating with them! This is counter-intuitive as it gives them an audience / platform and only encourages them to persist with their behaviour. If the interference becomes so bad the QSO cannot continue then QSY so they have nobody to annoy. Let us re-iterate this point, if you hear anybody swearing, making stupid noises, keying up etc, please DO NOT RESPOND TO THEM OR EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR EXISTENCE AS IT ONLY MAKES THE SITUATION WORSE.
The abuse currently seems to be reaching another peak, it is certainly the worst we have heard it for many years now, possibly since DY came on air.
Maybe it is time for a cooling off period as has happened with other repeaters in the country, but this process seems highly unfair as again it's the lawful users who will suffer. If anybody has any reasonable ideas as to possibly setting up some way for people to pool information, logs, recordings etc online then again please contact us - nfourmer (at) yahoo (dot) com - many thanks.

Vulgar Verbal Assualts
(January 25 2010)
Although the obnoxious heavy breathers have probably targeted the entire user base of GB3DY between them, Tony G6MWS and Roy G7SWW seem to be firm favourites amongst the retards and today yet again Roy was told "get a job"! Tony and Roy soon cleared but still the cretin continued his capers until he was accompanied by an amusing chap who popped in and accused him of simultaneously masturbating which only made worse the already tedious situation. Soon after another raspy voiced fiend arrived and a slanging match ensued, most definitely not for the easily offended. It continued on for a while with the two imbeciles arguing and subjecting each other to vociferous and vulgar verbal assaults.

M6DSK is jammed
(January 25 2010)
It looks as if nobody is excluded from Sore Throat Man's missions of madness and today he took a shining to Simon M6DSK and Fred M0CVS. He took advantage of Simon's weak signal into the repeater, wiping him out entirely and unfortunately all that could be heard was his distorted roaring and wheezing.

The Heavy Breather strikes again!
(December 21 2009)
Unfortunately tonight the act of causing annoyance to Roy G7SWW and Tony G6MWS yet again became the objective of one of GB3DY's resident gruff-voiced goofballs. A rather long exhalation of probably rancid and nauseating breath jammed the repeater and he persistently caused interference stamping all over Tony's transmissions with his idiotic racket. He was quite inarticulate tonight choosing only to pathetically parade his respiratory affliction.

The Pain and Joy of Sore Throat Man!
(December 14 2009)
It is no stretch of the imagination to consider this chap might not be in especially good mental health when behaviour like this is a regular occurrence. He began this harrowing performance with heavy breathing but soon progressed into a prolonged and tormenting wail. He let out short exclamations of pain and suffering before screaming out appearing to be in excruciating agony. Blood-curdling screams followed and it seemed he couldn't keep the PTT depressed but all of a sudden he began to laugh in a disturbed way and apparently his pain had turned to joy! Disturbing stuff.

Sore Throat Man returned again to strike fear into the hearts of radio amateurs by menacingly announcing that he is watching them. Creepy. Though it wasn't clear who he was watching as there didn't appear to be anybody else using the repeater at the time. Perhaps he was looking in the mirror?

Battle Royale - Clash of the Sore Throat Men!
(November 30 2009)
The lunactics took over the asylum today as multiple simpletons subjugated the repeater to a reign of retardation.
Dumb comments spewed forth from harsh-voiced nitwits before a brief trip to the funny-farm to hear the mooing of a cow, barking of a dog and belching of a human/pig hybrid. This was followed by an altercation between some ill-tempered fellows with gravelly voices who both claimed to be watching each other. A prolonged session of name-calling followed with a third squawking idiot joining in and subsequently a fourth! The exchanges continued with Gene G6ZDB becoming a target as he attempted to test his equipment. Next an even more demented swapping of insults took place, Gene attempted to call Pat G7JJC in vain but the battle royale continued and built to a crescendo. Things became gradually more manic with the feeble-minded individuals perpetuating their psychotic performance of inane comments and noises.

Stop Messing About!
(November 3 2009)
Listeners of GB3DY were today treated to a juvenile sonic palette as tone bursts and heavy breathing issued forth from the wireless. The deviants were told to "Stop messing about" by someone who didn't exactly come across as particularly astute themselves! Strange laughter permeated the air and Sore Throat Man surfaced to throw in some abuse. Richard G1ZGZ called out for a contact but acknowledgement came in the form of flatulence. Unsurprisingly he didn't come back and a couple of croaky-voiced fellows carried on the cretinous capers.

Whistlers, Sore Throats and RNI
(November 2 2009)
It was a quiet afternoon but not for too long as the repeater was to burst into life with the sounds of multiple noise-makers who once again appeared on frequency to wreak havoc. A whistler started the proceedings which brought the heavy breathers out of the woodwork. Somebody was again transmitting audio from the old offshore broadcast radio station "Radio North Sea International" whilst Sore Throats came out to play. Abuse was traded between various croaky voiced loons and the antics continued interspersed with belching and scratching.

The Sounds of Sickness
(November 1 2009)
People were making some extremely strange noises on the repeater this afternoon. There was heavy breathing, strange laughter, squeaking, whispering, belching, whistling, growling, farting and more. Some would say that those responsible need psychological treatment. But where in fact is the line drawn between simply making silly noises and possessing an actual disorder? Who knows...
In the evening Tony G6MWS and Trevor M1CXF who were making use of the repeater were joined by a heavy breather and a Sore Throat Man (groan). Besides the growling and laughing somebody was transmitting silent carriers for long periods of time causing a great deal of obtrusive heterodyning.

2E1FKM - Master of Torture
(October 29 2009)
Tony G6MWS, Colin 2E1FKM, Alan M3RLU and Jonathan M6JJR are in conversation when Sore Throat Man drops in and causes chaos on the repeater. Apart from being able to key over Tony who is mobile using a handheld he only manages to be heard between overs. But what he lacks in power he makes up for in sheer determination! This insolent imbecile is exceptionally persistent tonight and produces a wide variety of grunts, groans, squeaks, shouts and screams while some fairly entertaining remarks are made by all of the group. Colin 2E1FKM on several occasions more than hints towards committing various acts of violence and claims to be a master of torture! Although we will not advocate any form of human rights abuse the idea of Colin teaching the obnoxious chap a lesson admittedly has a certain appeal! Madness is maintained and M6JJR signs as he can't take any more.

Menace on the Airwaves
(October 27 2009)
After his performance earlier today you would have thought he might have considered giving his vocal cords a well-deserved rest. But no - it's Sore Throat Man we're talking about and his obviously limited brain capacity doesn't give him the scope to perceive the potential damage caused by screaming in such a grotesque voice.
In fact this evening he took a rather sinister and menacing approach sounding more non compos mentis than ever before. Another IQ-zero joined the melee in the form of a squeaky making ridiculous high pitched noises, straight out of the loony bin, but disappeared again quickly, probably considering himself sane in comparison. Tony G6MWS called out but was subjected to a relentless assault of maniacal mayhem. Sore Throat Man is told "Go and get your fix and don't be a stupid little boy", which only infuriated him further. From here he appeared to whip himself into a frenzy and implied he was making his way to Tony who encouraged him to hurry up as it was cold outside! Sheer bedlam ensued with the husky one exclaiming "I'm here now!" and commanding the signal meter be looked at. Menacing comments spewed forth such as "I'm watching you very closely" and "I know where you live" as things became gradually more and more psychotic.

G8JGF On the Trail?

Today GB3DY resonated to the growls of somebody who is going to end up with acute laryngitis if he isn't careful. But you have to admire his tenacity, right? Erm, no, not really, it's actually incredibly irritating and somewhat disturbing.
Appearing to have forgotten how to speak, he persistently roared away in a demented fashion, his voice sounding extremely harsh today. Pat G7JJC made a few comments which seemed to make him angrier as he began to rumble away louder than before. Paul G8JGF claimed to be tracking his signal down (as many others have claimed yet the abuse continues) but this didn't influence him towards ceasing his guttural groaning.

First Sign of Madness?
(October 26 2009)
Tonight that infamous harshly spoken chap was apparently quite happy to make merriment and babble away to himself on the repeater. He remarked "I'm watching you" yet nobody else was heard. He claimed the repeater for himself making strange derogatory comments in between belches, heavy breathing and and ghastly roars of bizarre gurgling laughter. He was joined by a whistler and an imitator. But who knows who is the real Sore Throat Man and who is the imitator? In fact it's in doubt as to whether there was only a single Sore Throat Man in the first place. We prefer to think of him as a pantheon of gravelly voiced fiends united in discordant harmony with each other.

Heavy Breathing and Silent Carriers
(October 25 2009)
Yet again it's Roy G7SWW and Tony G6MWS at the mercy of the deranged dimwit Sore Throat Man who unfortunately by now is a familiar voice heard via the GB3DY repeater. He soon got started causing his usual pandemonium with raucous bellowing and was transmitting long carriers with no audio modulation - perhaps attempting to stop transmissions through the repeater, or possibly cause the repeater to time out. Thankfully neither of these actually occurred but he did cause annoyance. Later on Lyn G0NNU appeared after a rather jarring snarl claiming he wasn't able to hear anybody besides Roy and Tony, if this is the case he must have manafactured a cretin filter for his radio which we urge him to promptly put into mass production!

Charming Chappie
(October 13 2009)
All was quiet this afternoon until out of nowhere came the theme from the Benny Hill show, which seemed to set the mood. The repeater quickly came to life and the braying of donkeys permeated the radio speakers. This appeared to wake Sore Throat Man from his slumber who then made no attempt to veil his contempt in euphemism. Today a strange tone could clearly be heard present in the background of his transmissions. He keyed his microphone for a lengthy period of time and this tone started to alter before all kinds of scratching and rustling sounds were heard.
A short while later Paul G8JGF and Joe M0JEL were in conversation only to be pounced upon by the charming chappie, his gravelly modulation seemingly pleasing Paul G8JGF today who proceeded to have a little fun with him. The husky one laughed away to himself as Paul attempted to ridicule him then he had what sounded like another masturbatory episode. Phil G7JJZ tried to call through but the cretin's cacophonous commotion prevailed. More silly sounds were heard and Wilf 2E0WMS insightfully commented on the weirdo's state of being.

No Peace for Roy and Tony...
(October 7 2009)
According to Roy G7SWW the moon was very spooky looking tonight, how fitting then that he and Tony G6MWS were soon ambushed on the repeater by a complete lunatic who proceeded to cause a considerable amount of interference. This heavy breathing fruitcake soon croaked his trademark "Get a job!" over the top of Roy and the group were soon joined by the demented tones of Sore Throat Man. Roy and Tony carried on talking despite being keyed over and didn't seem aware there were several blockheads on frequency, this was evident when Tony addressed them as one person and suggested he go to bed. Somebody blew kisses and Sore Throat Man announced that he was apparently on Dale Road but the relevance of this was somewhat obscure. The chaos continued and the guttural gimp grunted into the night.

Sore Throat Man is on the prowl!
(October 5 2009)
Paul G8JGF calls out and gets grunts in response. Not sure what he heard he asks the station to go again and gets more grunts. Then we hear some strange laughter followed by someone retransmitting what appears to be a broadcast radio station called Radio North Sea International. Next we are treated to the dulcet tones of Sore Throat Man who seems to be stalking. He announces his arrival with a depraved "I'm here now!". Enough to send a chill down the spine. Utter chaos commences from thereon with blood-curdling remarks such as "I'm watching you now" and "You're scared". Several stations join the uproar and a multitude of menacing comments and bizarre sounds follow. Pure unadulterated madness all the way!

Happy to be annoying!
(October 1 2009)
Phil M3VLH joins Tony G6MWS and Roy G7SWW for a QSO. An unidentified station seems to find this quite amusing for some unknown reason and shares his mirth with the group. Tony attempts to return but is stamped all over. It sounds like the keyer is attempting very badly to use the microphone as a percussion instrument. He blows a kiss and is reprimanded by Tony to who he instructs to go forth and multiply but in fewer words. Phil calls it a night because of the interference which the IQ-zero finds hilarious. Someone chimes in with a comment about his signal and Roy concurs that he can't hear him on the repeater input followed by a remark about brain power. Tony's signal is rendered unreadable by the half-wit who now seems to be loudly enjoying his dinner.

Sore Throat Man lets out his frustration.
(September 30 2009)
Poor Sore Throat Man."Why?" I hear you all ask at once, the man is a buffoon!
Well yes this is true, but surely you have to sympathise with someone who's voice sounds like that!
Anyway - today it seemed he was feeling quite sorry for himself. He started with a grunt or two but progressed into pain and agonising screams, finally slipping into a frenzy and rapidly attacking the PTT in what can only be described as a masturbatory outburst.

Sore Throat Man forces M0JEL off the air!
(September 24 2009)
Today someone with what sounded like a serious case of laryngitis caused havoc on DY. Richard G1ZGZ was calling through when Joe M0JEL came back to him, this was to be a short-lived contact however as the latter was not prepared to use the repeater whilst the irritant was present. Richard talked about how radio-fingerprinting software was apparently being used with the goal of catching the person responsible for the transmissions. But this of course has to rely on the assumptions that 1 - this person has a licensed station and sometimes uses the repeater normally and 2 - this person doesn't perhaps use a different radio for their shenanigans. More strange noises follow and the simpleton grunts away to himself a little while longer.

Get A Job!
(September 23 2009)
Roy G7SWW and Tony G6MWS happily in QSO when a heavy breather turns up and causes complete havoc annihilating signals. Roy is told to "get a job" again and the frequency descends into chaos. Roy relates how his friend Julie said the causer of the interference 'needs his head kicking' in which causes further ruckus, the pillock calling Roy a 'big man'. Further signal obliteration occurs, Tony and Roy becoming unreadable when he decides to TX. G7JJC drops in to inform the group he has no signal from the numpty on the repeater input, with Tony G6MWS claiming to know where the interference is coming from while another station talks about putting the unwanted guest into a home. If he means a home with padding on the walls then we most certainly agree, not a bad idea at all.

Cornflake Packet Licences?!
(September 17 2009)
Considerable debate surrounds the M6 / M3 foundation licences. There there are complaints that poor operating procedures have become commonplace as a result of it now being far too easy to obtain an amateur radio licence. It's no wonder when people fool about on the air. Like this fellow who claims to have got his licence from a cornflake packet!

The Phantom Whistler
(August 23 2009)
Whistling. A method of signalling, a musical endeavour, even a form of communication.
And also it seems favoured by someone with too much time on their hands, as a form of annoying people - as John M6MGT and Sam M6SCJ unfortunately found out. What a shame this individual appears to be tone deaf!

High on Drugs?
(August 16 2009)
It's Sunday night and Roy G7SWW is happily enjoying a QSO with Keith M3YYK. That is until a heavy breathing lunatic drops in on the frequency!
Many pleasantries follow starting with "Get a job". He then proceeds to play dtmf tones and completely obliterates M3YYK. Roy sounds annoyed, suggesting the idiot is high on drugs and decides to sign. The unwanted guest finds this hilarious, keying over everyone and making strange noises. When Tony G6MWS joins Roy later on he appears again completely wiping everybody out with silly noises and dtmf tones. This continues and Roy later notices that on the input frequency of the repeater he can hear Tony with no interference at all.
