Unless the state frequency coordinator is the one with all of the
paper repeaters....

I’d love to hear how this plays out. Locally, we had great luck
decoordinating a paper repeater and getting it recoordinated to us.
All it took was a good relationship with our state coordinator and a
little bit of time monitoring.
We all understand that sometimes a system goes down and takes a bit
longer to get operational again than we’d originally anticipated,
but there are definitely repeaters out there… all over the US… that
are paper only and will remain that way indefinitely unless we help.

You are totally correct, it is not MetroCor's function to track down
anyone, but if as you say you have such a list of paper repeaters,
why not do everyone a service and send it to us? if you are really
interested in the repeater community, you might consider
volunteering some of your time to assist our organization in it's
duties.We openly solicit any responsible amateur to assist us.
Any open channels that we can confirm only allow someone else to
gain their use and coordination. you would be doing a public service
to the Amateur community here in NY/NJ

Mr. Alfieri,
I understand you are a volunteer, and appreciate your efforts on
behalf of the amateur community. I also understand that MetroCor
does not have the resources to track down out-of-service machines,
and depends on the honesty of the amateur to relinquish coordination
when he takes a system permanently out of service.
That being said, and with all due respect: Over a 60 day period, if
I cannot bring up a coordinated repeater with a 125W Motorola
Spectra sitting on top of a 50+ foot building into a unity gain
antenna, using the PL codes published on the metrocor website, A) it
does not exist, or B)is out of service.
