[K3CAL] Rukes & Etiquette for CARA Repeater _FYI

[Dennis N3QHC]

Hello everyone,

 

I found the attached document on Rules & Etiquette for the Repeater today
that every CARA member should know about and have a copy.  

 

At a CARA General Meeting back in January 2002, the Membership passed this
package.  There is NO ISSUE today - I was off from work and found it in my
stack of CARA stuff so I thought I would share this with the Membership.

 

I believe we came up with this package because at the time we had a newly
licensed ham & CARA member that must have thought he was the police.  He
would call for help on the repeater.  When someone answered he said that he
is chasing a vehicle doing 70+ MPH on Rt. 4.  Of course someone would answer
his call and be obligated to call 9-1-1.  After a couple of occurrences no
one would respond to his call for help because we knew it made hams look bad
to the 9-1-1 center and police for such activity.  That created another
issue being if he really had an emergency and no one responded.  To curtail
his wanting us to call 9-1-1 we made up these rules and passed them at a
CARA General Meeting.  

 

73, Dennis/N3QHC
