I do not believe this was an email from the FCC as nothing in the language of part 95 and so on prevents systems linked through the internet. I want to see the original email header. I think the FCC would have likely sent either a hard copy via mail to the repeater trustee or an agent would have showed up in person. We ham radio operators have to also comply with most of the same rules and regulations and there is nothing stopping us from linking repeater systems through the internet. I have several Allstar nodes which allow access to repeaters all around the world online. I think this was more than likely some jack wagon who was mad that this repeater system was so large and because there is no real frequency coordination when it comes to assigning repeater frequencies. Whoever gets the repeater up first wins. Some of these guys don't understand how to separate repeater systems on the same frequency using PL tones and so on...... I would set the links back up and carry on. If this were from the FCC there would be enforcement action in the database. There isn't... So carry on.
