[GA ARES] Pager Gone Wild

[Robert Burton]

Interesting stuff;
Just spoke with a "Mr. Martin" (sorry didn't get the first name) with 
GREAT AMERICAN ENTERPRISE INC DBA MPW PAGING in Carrollton.  He 
mentioned that he "thought" they had pulled the transmitter from Sawnee 
Mtn.  His tech is out of town and suppose to go and check out these 
issues later this week.  It is moving up and down the band.  From 
444.600 down to 444.625....that we can confirm. 

I suspect however 2 different sites.  One at MABLETON and the other in 
BUCHANAN.  I need to contact my friend Jon Mitcham KD4YDA who lives down 
the road from the Buchanan site and see what he hears.  I stressed that 
these sites NEED to be checked out for fear of them interfering with the 
NWS. 

Also it is interesting that Bill Houston WD4LUQ has already "tagged" 
their Buchanan site before with a bad tx'er.  That did catch the ear of 
the gentleman on the phone.  Since that site is at a very high 
location....could be our problem.

Thanks to everyone who has emailed on this.  Esp. Terry W4TL and Marty WD4J.
