Good story !!
My 2 meter repeater was co-located with two high-band paging
transmitters that were 630 kHz apart. After hearing the occasional
burps for years, I added CTCSS and never looked back.
It was either ask the paging transmitter people to move (I liked
the money) or shut down the repeater. Neither was a good option.
