NOBODY (including the FCC) cares what the ARRL's stand is!!!! They are so far out of reality so often on things like this that few listen. I have a repeater with a 10 meter FM remote base that has been running for nearly 10 years, and many have been doing in LONG before me.
I am an OO, and I would never give this issue a second thought. If it were illegal, Riley would have jumped on it a long time ago. Heck, until a few years ago the ARRL was calling 29.600 the "calling channel" which shows how little they know! ------ Original Message ------ Received: Wed, 26 Dec 2007 03:25:34 AM CST From: "Paul Plack" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: 10 meter desense help, split site, high noise floor. > I'm afraid you've missed the ARRL's point.
