Wayne, I'll stop beating this equine corpse, but my only point was if you use the term "trustee" in communicating with the FCC about a repeater which bears your callsign, it will suggest to them that you're not familiar with the regs, which is usually a bad way to start.
I'll concede that you can be the licensee of a repeater, yet remain a trustee of its coordination. Just remember who you're writing the letter to when you choose terms. 73, Paul, AE4KR PS - Of course, YMMV. ;^) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wayne" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, May 20, 2008 1:39 PM Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] coordination? > Yes, we must humor the coordinators if we desire becoming coordinated. > The system used in some states is kinda behind the times compared to > others.
