HI John,
I agree with to a point but the FCC will first ask the coordinating group witch repeater is coordinated. That is exactly what Bin would do and has done so in Oregon and Washington. If there is another channel available take it.

As you know,I spent about 10 years on the ORRC myself, several of those as the database manager. The other repeater was there first. The coordination council either (1) did not have an accurate database and/or (2) did not research it throughly. Even if the first repeater's coordination expired, the first repeater station was there first and still operating as originally coordinated. There is no legal requirement to coordinate repeaters, but the council did know about this individual. Camilo, I suggest find another frequency. ------ Original Message ------ Received: Sun, 02 Nov 2008 02:18:35 PM PST From: "Mike Mullarkey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:k7pfj%40comcast.net> net> > The other guy that let his coordination expire is out of luck and needs to > vacate the channel.
