Yes,
No obligation to co-ordinate your repeater. However, and this I have
seen this personally,(fortunately in my favor) in an interference issue
or complaint the first question the FCC asks is this repeater
coordinated? Even if you have been on that pair for centuries and the
coordinators have issued coordination of that pair to someone else, the
FCC will hold the non coordinated system responsible to eliminate the
repeater interference

You ARE aware that if someone else gets coordination there and the FCC

explanation.
Says who? No repeater trustee is obligated to coordinate his/her
repeater with a coordinating group.
Many repeaters pre-date the formation of an area coordination group.
If the repeater is operational, any repeater, coordinated or
otherwise that significantly interferes with a pre-existing operating
repeater is in violation of FCC rules. Coordinating a repeater is a
voluntary act. There is no regulatory requirement to do so. Show me
some language in part 97 to the contrary.
