Ok, For someone who isnt that much into the rules and regs....that would seem like a duh statement. Why is this such a big deal? To me, a repeater repeats the signal, hince a repeater. Looking at it, I am seeing that you refer to delays and transmission protocol....What other things out there "repeat" but arent repeaters?

The following motion was adopted: That the NFCC send a letter to the FCC that states that the NFCC believes that any amateur station, other than a message forwarding system, that automatically retransmits a signal sent by another amateur station on a different frequency while it is being received, regardless of any delays in processing that signal or its format or content, is a repeater station within the meaning of paragraph 97.3(a)(39) of the rules of the Federal Communications Commission, and should be treated as such. Under the NFCC's proportional voting system, 93 votes were cast in favor of the motion by 19 members, and 54 against by 11 members. The letter will be sent to the FCC's Bill Cross today. -- Jay Maynard, K5ZC http://www.conmicro .com http://jmaynard. livejournal. com http://www.tronguy. net http://www.hercules -390.org (Yes, that's me!)
