Repeater courtesy
Hobby Enjoyment
Participating in a conversation on our repeaters should be treated similar to a conversation in open mixed company in a social setting.
Conversations should be kept courteous and all participants should be treated with dignity and respect. Monopolizing the repeater or engaging in controversial subjects such as religion, sex, or politics should generally be avoided.
Test ‘kerchunking’ the repeater (pushing & releasing the push-to-talk button) is considered a poor operating practice and should be avoided.
We also ask that you let the repeater drop completely, to allow emergency traffic to break in.
Conversations on our repeaters are a direct reflection of our club. Please make our repeaters enjoyable for all to use.
Interference and Jamming of our Club’s Repeaters
It is the West Valley ARC position that when a QSO or net experiences unwelcome
interference over our repeater, you should either tolerate it or sign off.
The intruder will soon violate the FCC 10-minute rule by not ID-ing and possible
intentional jamming of a licensed station(s) along with other illegal acts.
- If net control and/or users choose to continue, keep all transmissions short and leave several seconds of space after the repeater drops.
- Do not discuss the intruder or make assumptions on what you think the issue might be over the air.
- Keep in mind that interference is often accidental such as a keyed mic, monitor volume low or another innocent mistake.
The Tech Committee will be working behind the scenes to document the interference and hand it over to the FCC for disciplinary action.
If it is of a racial, sexual, profane, vulgar or other illegal act; legally ID and turn off
your radio. Never engage a jammer.
Inform the Tech Committee at:
N6ENV1@GMAIL.COM in writing of the particulars such as date & time the event
occurred along with what happened to document the violation.
