This is untrue. A repeater owner is not responsible for any traffic carried through the repeater as the repeater has no control over the traffc. The responsibility lies solely with the traffic originator. The repeater owner would be responsible only if they originated the improper transmission in the first place.

And @BoxCarwill come over to your Shack and whistle the necessary codes to mimic the missing hand microphone KG-UV10A buttons! ?

That's pretty funny!

Yes Dan, that's exactly what I'm saying. A repeater owner has no responsibility for traffic across the repeater unless they specifically generate the input traffic. Access codes do not imply control as there is no operator at the station's controls. If repeater owners were held liable for illegal or improper traffic there wouldn't be any repeaters because of liability issues.

A commercial product, Comstudy, has been doing this for more than 20 years. At one popint, all the Part 90.20 coordinators used the software until they invested the resources to develop their own products.

I remember when I was about 12 years old and my monthly copy of ARRL's QST magazine arrived. It had a construction project that took advantage of that phenomena for HF; using out of phase signals to completely open up a frequency where a "pile up" was occurring due to a rare foreign country's Ham signal was being received. It then had circuitry to allow "my" signal to make it through free and clear! And then I looked at the cover of that issue and realized it was APRIL! ?

There sure is: https://repeaterbook.com That resource is also one used by Chirp and RT Systems as a datasource for programming radios. Michael WRHS965 KE8PLM
