[FRC] FYI... Florida Repeater Council Information

[Richard Rexroad]

HEADS-UP!


At the end of the day, NO repeater coordination body anywhere in any State or Nation has any 
Federal or State Legislative authority to coordinate anything - HELLO !!! It's a voluntary organization
that some allegedly make a living off. Try and get their financials. Good Luck!
Anyone can start a repeater coordination body. HELLO!


The FRC is like a bunch of volunteer referees arguing over non existent authority.


As to the ARRL, it's a business people.

All I'm asking is that we > conduct ourselves in the same civilized manner we would on air.I always encourage people to voice their viewpoint, in person, on air, or inemail.  I also say the great thing about radio is if you don't want to listento some one talk, change the channel.  I've had to do this a few times overthe years.> While we may not all agree with Brian's methods or tactics..

If anyone wants off this list, you can do or askme.  I know we had some people with forwarded addresses and I needed headersto reconcile those.  I've removed most within hours of asking.> Hacking/Cracking/Unsecured/Breached/Test what ever you want to call it..> according to the ARRL the FRC is the responsible party for coordination in> the state of Florida.

I've been told it was on a public website.  I believe Mr. Fletcheris trying to deflect blame onto others.> As I am on the fence about being contacted against the FRC, I have been> intrigued by this email list, it's put me in contact with some people whom> I probably wouldn't have had other means of reaching.

Keeping things secret has enabled the situation we have now.If you want to keep your repeater a secret, it's best to not give theinformation out in the first place, IMO.See you in Melbourne,-- Bryan Fields727-409-1194 - Voicehttp://bryanfields.net_______________________________________________FRC-Info mailing listFRC-Info at lists.keekles.orghttp://lists.keekles.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/frc-info
