Your two statements seem to contradict one another. In any case, I was able to talk over the turkeys, even when one of them went up into the building that housed the repeater.

Wasn't necessary, though we did that sometimes too, with Doppler rigs. These particular turkeys were hams, known to us, who objected to the use of the Dallas Repeater Association 22/82 repeater for a net when they wanted to ragchew. Very unsavory bunch; they also engaged in various obnoxious behaviors, including racist hate-speech, on 22/82 and other repeaters. One of them was the only person (that I know of) ever refused membership in Dallas Amateur Radio Club by a vote of the members.
