Well, fortunately not all people are greedy nor are they looking for other's misfortunes, nor like a bird of pray, a situation to pounce upon for an advantage! When looking for Repeater Insurance, ARRL isn't the only place to go. Even Auto Insurance Carriers will write Repeater Insurance for a reasonably low fee and it be something everybody will be happy with. An extream case, I know of someone who wanted a safety repeater on a mountainous highway that looked like danger to him, but in a forested area. He built a repeater out of a handheld, a small battery, a small controller, and put it in a garbage bag and buried it at the base of a tree in a forest about a quarter mile off the highway. He ran antenna coax and solar power cable up the tree and put both the solar cells and antenna hidden at the top in the top branches. It worked, and onlt he knew where it was, nor was it ever discovered, last I heard!! Later he added a link down to a town and an autopatch. He kept it SIMPLE!!! Dick, W7TIO
