Re: How many hams have private repeaters? #poll-notice


 

I built and maintained multiple repeaters on multiple bands, on multiple mode for me or for club/organisation.?
In no time I feel that I can prevent anyone from using a repeater but if it is being abused in a way that prevents the normal use by any other ham.?

That repeater may have been paid in full by me, or for the club/organisation or a mix of the 2. I dont?care. The frequencies are not mine. The air waves are not mines. And if there is a price to pay for the site, or for the internet or such, if I decide to install my stuff there, it is my responsibility to pay. If I cannot?pay anymore because of?a price hike I will ask for help. If none come, the repeater will be removed. I made the decision to put something online. It is my responsibility to pay for it. If the user wants to help, I am ok with it. but It wont give them more access than any other ham that did not help.?

Requesting money to use something I had fun installing and maintaining?is not ok. My fun is solving problems and building systems.. I am not a big ragchew?guy. When I was going to work every morning, I was on the repeater and the same when I was going back home. But now that I am retired. I do some digital HF stuff and I am the Brandmeister Canada server sysop, and I am working for our local club federation and I do technical stuff for anyone asking for it, but specifically more for a club that I like.??

My point of view, If you don't?like doing the job and the pride of doing it is not enough for you, well, let other people do it. If you really need it, then it is your problem, not others.?

Well time for me to throw to half Pennie’s into the mess. And I fall directly into this question. I put my own DMR system because dmr around me sucks and the coverage is worth crap.?
those hotspot things are about as useless as the coverage is so I put my own. I tried to listing the machine with my RepeaterBook but they refuse to list the machine.?
so screw it I return it in when I want run a weird color code and I get the coverage I want.?
no one else near uses it because well it hasn’t been listed. Does it make MY machine private. Kinda but not on purpose.?
I run gmrs ? Even got a two meter machine out of a dead xpr8400.?
As for owning a frequency that’s a WB2hww thing.?
go on his machine and he’ll start with I own you and every time I inlet it’ll make you want to talk.?
