They are not sent out to members. This upcoming meeting it exactly what I'm planning on attending.Seems to me that there is a FRC meeting 3 times a year, at the Tampa Hamfest, the Orlando Hamfest, and the Melbourne Hamfest (this weekend). Minutes are sent out to members via email.
The database was not there, just queries from it, as locked PDF files. This is not usable to determine what frequencies may be open, as the FRC does not provide frequencies (per their website)
The FRC site is at http://florida-repeaters.org/ - which used to have the entire database available for perusal and download – not sure what this current notice is all about.
Please lets refrain from ad-hominem attacks. I'm as much of a Floridian as anyone here, and we're all in the same boat.But the point is – I have been a Ham here since 1975 – I don’t know of any problem with the FRC – I notice those that do right now, are new guys with non-florida call signs. I would be hesitant to throw in with a group of carpet baggers unless there was some real reason that it was necessary. A few complaints and accusations is not enough for a coup. The Amateur service has not completely degenerated into CB yet. Although I can understand that the new guys don’t know of any difference on the air, I think if you are serious - show up at the Melbourne hamfest FRC meeting and make your complaints known and addressed.
KA callsign? My original call was KB-something.
I don’t have a dog in this fight, don’t have a repeater, don’t want one, but, damn, if I see one more ‘2’, or ‘KA’ call screaming for revolution….. I would at least like to hear how YOU would run the coordination activity in any improved fashion first.
This is a strawman argument and has not bearing on these problems.
(and saying you have been a ham since .. so and so, no-code era, doesn’t cut any fat off your arguments – best leave that one out).
