[FRC] FYI... Florida Repeater Council Information

Tue Oct 4 23:37:37 EDT 2016

I tried years ago and gave up… The FRC completely killed any interest I had
in ham radio repeaters… before you had to buy your repeater pairs from the
district coordinator and after he was removed our district was dissolved
and given to district 2, which is where most of our problems came from…

At this point I have no idea if my repeaters are even coordinated anymore
and honestly I don't care, they are on a government building sponsored by
the Miami Dade Office of Emergency Management, and the only reason I
maintain them is because they (MD-OEM) have asked me to.. if it ever became
a problem I would just turn them off… then Miami would have exactly zero
wide-area VHF repeaters and district 2 would finally win
