Re: [Repeater-Builder] Walter L Cronkite Jr, RIP
Walter's closing line originated with a radio show called, you Are There, which was an historical show that took an historical event and presented it as though it were happening then and there; and Walter, along with other reporters, did the show as if they were reporting on the event live on the air. I remember many of the shows. When the radio show ended, Walter's closing comments would be something like, And that's the way it was...July 4, 1776, the opening of the American Revolution. All things are as they were then, except you are there. He'll be missed.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] One way transmitting question
If you send to one pager at a time, you're OK because the message is going to a single person and isn't a broadcast.

I had mentioned that we wanted to use our repeater to send out a set of tones to activate fire style pager (this was some time ago) and people said we should not do it for one reason or another. One of those reasons was that it might be considered a one way broadcast and not legal under FCC rules for amateur radio. That being said, I know that some people have come on here and asked about using a weather radio on their repeater system, etc. Having it setup to send out alerts over the repeater when they come in. Would this not also be considered a 1 way broadcast for reception by general public, per-say. How can you legally include a weather alert radio in a repeater setup and have it function as required?
