I have a resolution to this issue. I am applying for a club callsign to use on
the repeater. There are several of us that will use it and we just have to go
thru the gyrations of setting up a formal club structure.
Actually, the callsign will be used on one fixed and one portable linked
repeater. I'll use an identifier on the mobile unit when it's in use.
Thanks for the assistance.
73, Dean KJ4LII

"§97.119 Station identification.
(c) One or more indicators may be included with the call sign. Each indicator
must be separated from the call sign by the slant mark (/) or by any suitable
word that denotes the slant mark. If an indicator is self-assigned, it must be
included before, after, or both before and after, the call sign. No
self-assigned indicator may conflict with any other indicator specified by the
FCC Rules or with any prefix assigned to another country."
/R is a self-assigned indicator and 'R' is assigned by ITU to Russia.

P.S. There are a LOT of repeaters out there still signing /R.

This is interesting, can you show us where in the rules this is?
