Re: Re: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Bad adapter
Neal, Your point is a good one. We don't know the whole story and many of our comments are for fun. There may be a real good reason why this was done. I am sure the owner is dealing with it. It might have been done by the tower owner and one might be there free at his blessing. One could complain, but then you might not have a site. There are all kinds of reasons why this happened and for good reasons. The type of splice would lead me to believe it had to be quick and dirty to get something important on the air. 73, ron, n9ee/r From: neal Newman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 2008/04/22 Tue AM 07:44:46 CDT To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Bad adapter On a quick Note Ron If the repeater was for emergency services( Police,fire,ems or during a storm) ,and was a Must Get on the air at any cost that would save lives.
