Liability Insurance for repeaters

[WQUQ715]

Have any repeater owners had to provide liability insurance for access to a repeater site? Where does one go to obtain this kind of insurance?

 

Anyone who has any input here, I would appreciate it.

Yes, at most professional communications sites, you would be required to hold a $2M general liability policy, in case you accidentally mess up something on site, or knock the tower over by backing into it with your truck, etc.

 

As a professional broadcast engineer, I do have such a business policy.  You can purchase a similar policy from most any agency who writes business insurance policies.  Mine is annual renewable.  Short-term policies are also available from some insurers, if you want to just insure a one-time job.

 

If you are part of a club that owns the repeater, have the club buy the insurance. (If you're a ham, the ARRL has some great policies.)
