How could they stop it when they are still issuing vanity club calls (which a local club just got one of within the last month or so)?
BTW, all licenses have trustees. All repeaters have trustees. All coordinations have trustees. When the time comes there is no trustee for any one of these, they are abandoned. (such as a SK which results in no trustee for the license, repeater and/or coordination) In my area, there are provisions for a backup trustee for the coordination. If the primary trustee passes away, or moves, or becomes otherwise unable to perform his duties, the backup can automatically receive the coordination - after due process, of course. This ensures that a coordination is not left "in the balance" being fought over between two people should someone become a SK. The backup is specified by the primary trustee and is a form of a will for the coordination. (and there have been cases where a SK's coordination was claimed by more than one person in the past. It can get REALLY ugly REALLY fast. This solves that issue. Joe M. Nate Duehr wrote: > Paul Plack wrote: > >> Are there any repeaters left using club callsigns?
