[amsat-bb] D-Star Interference to XW-2A Downlink

[Hasan al-Basri]

There is a repeater on 145.670 (D-Star) in the Dallas area
https://w5fc.org/tag/fsq/

It makes using XW-2A nearly impossible as it is right in the passband.

Who in the world thought it was a good idea to put a D-STAR repeater
(simplex) in the middle of a satellite downlink passband?

Does this comply with any existing ARRL Band Plan, on other words is this a
shared resource with D-Star?  If so, I guess it's just tough luck and live
with it. If not, perhaps someone from AMSAT can have a word with the
Trustee?
