Hello gang,
That would only happen if the other repeaters were also on the same
frequency. *Not going to happen unless you are flying a private aircraft

This is why repeaters are supposed to be coordinated.

I wonder who won. Click on
I would
guess that 99.9% of the ham population never has or ever will provide
the types of 'emergency communications' to which you refer...
So?
The point is that the more hams there are the more likely that the 1-out
-of-a-thousand that you refer to is in a place where he can do some good
if an emergency breaks out.
Correct. Unlike the poster who said all that is neede isone or a few
hams in a very rural area. * I did plan on moving to a rural area,
then I found out
that hams don't like hams operating from rural areas because whenever
they use any one of the nearest repeaters to them, they always
simultaneously open up all the nearest repeaters to them that have the
same CTCSS code on the same frequency they're operating on.
A rural ham who intenionally opens up the nearest repeater, a hundred
miles north of him with a ctcss code of 100.0 also unintentiomnally
opens up
the repeater 100 miles south of him that also uses a ctcss of 100.0,
the repeater 100 miles west of him also using 100.0,the repeater 100
miles east
of him using 100.0, the repeater 100 miles northeast of him using
100.0,the repeater 100miles northwest of him,the repeater 100 miles
southeast of him,
and a repeater 100 miles southwest ofhim.
