sounds a bit petty to me.
you know, the last time i checked, we were all here to provide emergency
communications when needed. not to get out there and form clicks. i have had
repeaters before and it cost me money, money i didnt really have.
if you alone want to put up a repeater, then you pay to do so. if you cant
afford it, then dont. why should anyone else pay for your hobby.
either way, just remember (and it seems that there are to many people out there
that have forgotten) we are here for one reason, and one reason alone... to
provide a service to others when all else fail.

That’s not the issue here and you know it.
Let’s see you spend your money to finance a repeater and see how you feel when
individuals fail to respect the rules you set forth.
In the meantime, if you’ve got something to say, have the guts to sign your
message.

I can remember when no one could own an amateur radio frequency.
