Some guy is on the intercity repeaters being stupid.

I have made it a point in my scanner and my mobile radios, to include the repeater inputs in a special bank. Had an incident not so long ago with a repeater being jammed, where simple basic signal strength tracking got me to the area of origin, then it magically stopped... (Did they see me)?
How does that work? By signal noise?
Which intercity repeater, the UHF ones?
It was likely the VHF Intercity because after he played on that freq for a bit, he went to the DPH VHF channel and broadcast there for a few more minutes.

I learned from credible sources that the interference was caused when an 11 meter operator brought a very high powered transmitter to a popular high-elevation antenna tower site in Northwest CT.
His transmissions were on AM in the CB band, and bleed into all of the UHF/VHF repeaters at the site.
I have heard the audio - the guy sounded like one of the babbling rapper-type operators found on CB Channel 6.
Apparently he got shut down when the cops showed up to figure out what was going on with the radios.
Yes kids, shielded and grounded equipment will rectify a very strong nearby signal.

Is that strong enough to overried PL/DCS tones (as ws the case here)? I didn't think that was possible.
