The "company" Line (Federal Candy Company) is that your coordinated repeater trumps his "uncoordinated" repeater in a claim of interference.
The difficulty here seems that you didn't transmit on the input, you just listened on the output, when you were searching for frequencies. The repeater coordinators just went by their paperwork in making their assignment, with no "field tests." While the need for frequency coordination is evident, the coordinating body needs to confirm that the "expired" repeater is indeed off the air through notifications to the previous operator and "field testing." It would be interesting to hear the coordinators side of the story to figure this out. If you have tone squelch on your mobile receiver, is the other repeater interfering with your communications? If so, are there just 2 repeaters in the same area just for the sake of having repeaters? Who has the best site? Who has the best setup? Maybe you can get together and make one super repeater.

Then I send an email to the FRC reporting that there is a repeater on that freq, and they found out that the repeater freq belong to KA4DFX according to the coordinator that his permit expired two years ago, and they want the director of district 1 W4HN to contact KA4DFX to convince him to apply for a frequency coordination, but W4HN is blaming me, in his email he told me to listen before turning my repeater on because in HF if some one is having a QSO and you are calling cq,cq, I am interfering someone qso, but this repeater is quiet no qso no one knows there is a repeater, on that freq, its not listed on the new updated FRC website, to make this story short, I am not trying to step > > On somebody shoes, I just want to contact KA4DFX, to ask him a favor if it's possible for him to put a PL on his repeater, and I don't mind sharing the frequency with him. > > But looking at qrz he doesn't have an address just (P.O.
