I'll be forwarding this on to my lawyer. As far as decoordination, the procedure is in the standards that must be followed. You've just opened the door for a lawsuit against the society. A lot of repeater trustees are pissed because of this kind of actions done illegally. Read the damn coordination standards. You have to notify me by certified mail that I'm being decoordinated and I have up to one year to fight it....and I will be fighting it. 146.96 will be going up at its coordinated site at 1500 ft soon. Go ahead stick somebody else on the channel. I'll be covering their ass up and I have the FCC as well as the standards of coordination behind me. Keep blabbing your mouth and you'll get a damn lawsuit yourself. I'm tired of this crap. The VHFFM society is done so many things wrong in the last couple of years without membership approval. Coordinating repeaters on 10 kHz splits on two meters. That was never approved by the membership as required by the bylaws Just keep blabbing and let me save all this and I'll be sure to forward it on to my lawyer. Thank you very much. Hope you have good insurance cuz you're going to need it Chris WB5ITT Trustee W5APX WRXZ789 GMRS Society of Broadcast Engineers Vice Chairman and Frequency Coordinator, SBE134 SE TX and SW LA On Thursday, February 19, 2026 at 10:41:00 PM CST, Steve Agee via BVARC <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Howdy folks. I am a lifetime member of the club, but have only watched this list since joining many years ago. This is my first post to the list. As a matter of fact, I only got posting approved just yesterday. I wanted to set the record straight, especially after comments from WB5ITT (stating that information from the coordination body cannot be trusted) and some others that posted some of their own ideas and speculation. I am the repeater coordinator for Zone 2, which is Southeast Texas. WA5CYI (Pump Handle to many of you) was the trustee up until June 01, 2014. At that time, it was transferred to KD5YVQ, the now late Robert Polinski. Robert filed paperwork to create a club, for whom he was the trustee. On October 10, 2014, the repeater call sign was changed to his new club call sign, KG5EEO. When I took over Zone 2 in 2016, Robert contacted me, and we discussed what would happen to the repeater if something happened to him. He asked if he could have a note on file that the repeater be transferred via a club-to-club transfer, specifically to WR5AAA. I told him that I would make a note of his wishes. Fast forward to present. Sadly, Robert passed away a couple of weeks ago, and at his request, I did exactly what he asked me to do. I did a club-to-club transfer to WR5AAA, which is the call sign you now hear on the 146.940 repeater. The trustee of that club is the B.V.A.R.C. past president, Mike Hardwick. As for WB5ITT, Chris, YOU seem to be the only person on here with an issue against the Society. Why don't YOU tell these fine folks that YOU flat out lied to me as the coordinator, about where your 146.960 repeater was located. Then you moved it without even filing the appropriate paperwork. And don't forget to tell them that YOU committed MULTIPLE FELONIES recently regarding same. There are several other repeater trustees on this list that try to do the right thing, and they have no beef with the coordination process, nor me. I'd say the problem lies with CHRISTOPHER BOONE, and NOT the coordination body that you continually verbally abuse on this list. As for the 146.940 Houston machine, I changed the call sign in the database, and by now, the repeater should be identifying with the same call sign, WR5AAA. As for your 146.960 repeater, it has been de-coordinated, for willfully and intentionally falsifying information on the coordination. Since you are a lifetime member, a previous coordinator, and a past director, of all people, YOU should know the process and be able to follow it, but you refuse to do so. After conferring with the state frequency coordinator, you will be receiving the required 30 days notice paper copy in your P.O.Box in the next few days. As of 3/21/26 the pair goes to the next person on the waiting list.
