I did nothing to violate thier policies.  They admited they had no basis to
de-coordinate me and was why they "rescinded" the coordination.

Joe,

I totally agree.  Very well put.  Makes one wonder about some coordinators, but 
then again there might have been issues that violated the coordinators policies 
such as distance.  Not going to blame the coordinator until had all the story.

mccrpt,

The point is that the other group simply didn't want to hear a user on
another repeater and complained. That is a completely ridiculous reason
to decoordinate a repeater. I could see if the user was coming through
their repeater (and then they have the right to demand that the user
stop), but when it comes to another person's repeater, what right do
they have to demand terms? (they being the coordinator or the trustee of
another repeater)

If I don't like someone using your repeater, do I have the right to
complain and have your coordination revolked? I think not. I only have
any say if they are accessing my repeater.

MCH,

Both repeater outputs were 147.000 with one high input and one low.  Yes both 
repeater users would have heard both repeaters for they tx on same freq.

No of course one repeater user would not have been heard on the other repeater. 
 Guess this is what you are saying.
