That "day" of transmissions sounded more like a recording of morse code
being played every minute. Some radios have a feature that will allow
the operator to record him or herself and play it back repeatedly as in
calling CQ or QRZ. I've heard its use on Field Day as well as in some
YouTube videos.

CW is allowed anywhere under the frequency limits of the operator
license....what was being transmitted via the repeater was MCW, a tone
modulating the FM carrier...legal only in phone bands above 29.5
MHz..a tone fed into a SSB transmitter is considered A1A or true CW,
not MCW which is A2 or F2 depending on modulation method.
only two segments, 50.0-50.1 and 144.0 - 144.1 are CW only....you can
find it online at several places ...Google FCC Part 97

I'm still new at this, is CW allowed on 2 meters?

When something like this happens its pretty simple for EVERYONE
to monitor
the 146.34 input to the repeater and forward signal reports..
Most folks have a rev
button... this is what its for.
Last night Suzanne (KF5GWZ) and I set out to find the problem
*and we did*.
We had a few previous reports (Guesses??) like Mike forwarded,
but that
didn't match the results Suzanne and I were getting.. I think the
area
that was under suspicion WAS NOT the area we went to... All those
calls
would have been a waste..
We used the signal strength meter on a mobile rig (icom r7000) and a
handheld with a signal strength meter as well, monitoring 146.34.
Took a little over an hour then after it was fixed,
we stopped and had some good tx mex for dinner..
It was a fun Friday Date night.. ha ha
Wish more folks were out there to join us, we had a blast..

PS - good subject for future BVARC training...

I'm glad this issue was resolved, and for what its worth, there
are at least 50 hams in the area which would have made it time
consuming to contact each one. This was a good (not good)
unplanned fox hunt, and it reminds me of the time there was
interference on the 146.92 repeater years ago. At the time I had
an Icom mobile which had an attenuator on the squelch control, so
it was relatively easy to narrow the signal down to a few square
blocks.
This is one of the things I like about ham radio the most... hams
coming together to offer a service or resolve an issue.
