This guy is a bunch of hot air. I do have a open 2 meter repeater, NO one has
ever offered to pay anything in up keep.
So far the repeater, amp controller, duplixer, hardline and antenna all out of
pocket money and yes a lot of it. Electrical, tower rental and insurance. If
the repeater ever gets hit by lighting it would be a long time before it get
replaces. And the best part the free users love to call me and complain about
it from time to time. The clock is off by a 30 sec.. or the time out is to
short for me (4 mins) and things like that. Can we use the repeater for the
4th of July run we do the radios for it, (Yes) but they don't. Just so much
fun and it is all free for all hams to use. Glad I don't have the same Sh??
with may FB-8 repeaters, and I get to collect money and it is the fee I come up
with.
