Subject: [KYHAM] repeater coordination and "dead" pairs

I would like to pose a question to the group, in light of Mr. =
Goodpastor's
comments about his coordination difficulties. Has any one ever been
successful in an effort to "un-coordinate" an unused frequency pair?

SERA's own guidelines state that if a pair is unoccupied (by a repeater) =
for
a period of over six months, that the frequency is eligible for =
assignment
to others. Why does SERA fail to re-assign these unused frequencies to
someone who will actually install and maintain an operable repeater? I =
know
of one frequency near me that has been listed for at least 10 years and =
the
"repeater" has never been placed in service.

 No wonder it is difficult to get a pair assigned with so many "paper"
repeaters around. Unfortunately they don't work very well.
