Larry, I hear ya, and this is probably what the folks who consider this vague and unenforceable refer to.
I'm sure we'll be hearing "/R" for years to come. In fact, before it goes out of use, I expect to start hearing new Technician-class licensees start asking on-air, "Hey...what's that wierd beeping noise I keep hearing about every ten minutes?" My comment on 10-codes was only to suggest the FCC would have many layers of other priorities to wade through before getting to "/R" on repeaters, not to suggest that you condone ciphers. And...thanks for taking this in the spirit of friendly debate in which it was intended. ;^) 73, Paul, AE4KR ----- Original Message ----- From: Larry Wagoner To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, May 04, 2009 6:54 PM Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] 440 Repeater Project At 01:52 PM 5/4/2009, you wrote: ...The question is posed by the addition of anything that could reasonably be seen to obscure, hide or somehow bring one to the belief that the identifying sign was something other than what it is... ..."10-codes"? I don't use those either. Indeed - I TEACH prospective technicians - and the non-use of ciphers is part of my course... .
