[450] Packet transmissions

[Bob]

To whomever it may concern,

There are strong packet transmissions being sent on 144.440 that are
identified by the W1ET call sign.  They are causing a bit of a disturbance
to a large group of operators on 144.450.  I imagine this is unintended, as
the last time something like this happened it turned out the transmissions
were intended for a frequency 600 khz higher, but the operator had
inadvertently pushed the "shift button".
Could you please check your station and see if it is responsible?

Here is a copy of the transmission:

It has been suggested that the actual transmission bothering us may be a
"retransmission" of your signal by an "unknown station", however the only
call sign in the transmission is yours.
The signal I am receiving is quite strong (40-60 over s-9 to a phased pair
of 10 elements) in the direction of roughly 20 degrees from my location in
Newtown, CT, and appears to be horizontally polarized.

Thank you for any assistance you can provide us in this matter.
