Rules

Users must comply with ALL FCC mandated rules and regulations. In addition to the FCC rules, the following best practices are mandated by the group.

• Station Identification - All stations are required to identify themselves, upon initially transmitting on the repeater and every fifteen minutes.
• When initially coming onto the repeater, when not previously in use (verified by LISTENING for a few minutes PRIOR to transmitting), it is only necessary to announce your call sign.
• ONLY USE THE TERM "BREAK" OR "BREAK BREAK" In times of emergency (break), or life threatening (break break). Note that this repeater is NOT affiliated with or monitored by a REACT team.
• All stations using the repeater should pause after the previous station drops to allow time for new stations to identify.
• Communication should be in plain language - "10" codes, CB or even Amateur Radio type jargon is not required and really frowned upon here. Similarly, phonetics should be reserved for those instances when required for effective communication such as in a weak signal situation.
• Content - Do not engage in any conversation that would not be appropriate for a child or your mother to hear.

We are sharing our repeaters with no catch other than for those that might use it have a pleasant experience. Use common sense and courtesy please.
