HamRadioNow: Florida Repeater Council?
Bryan
Fields W9CR is accusing the Florida Repeater Council of being corrupt
and inefficient to the point of inaction. It stems from his attempt to
coordinate a 220 MHz band repeater in Tampa Bay, FL. Bryan's account is
that the process went from delay to friction to outright hostility.
Bryan
has launched a reform group with this web site where he makes his case.
He's produced a 15-minute YouTube video that also details the story
(which we've condensed into about 3 minutes and inserted at the very end
of the show), and now this 90-minute HamRadioNow Episode in which host
Gary Pearce KN4AQ grills Bryan mercilessly (OK, he asks a few pointed
questions), and David Goldenberg W0DHG supplies the average ham
perspective, asking questions that have bedeviled frequency coordinators
for decades (where do they get their authority, who do they report to,
who's supposed to fix this?).
We've invited the FRC to appear on
a future show to respond, and Gary realizes (again) how much we need to
do a Repeater Show or two with some of the rich history of ham radio
repeaters, a close look at the issues and problems repeater users,
owners and coordinators face, and some predictions of the future.
It's another talking-head show, with just a few web sites and a little video, so it earns its Radio Rating of A.
