Russ,

ARe the k7ij repeaters still up?  Can't hear them down here in Merced of course.  They certainly have an interesting history if you like that sort of thing.

But, don't think it's as bad as the 147.435 repeater, at least based on what I've heard about that one.

   K7IJ Repeater Agreement
   May 11, 1999
   K7IJ Repeaters are to come back on the air under the following terms:
   1. At all times that K7IJ repeaters are operating, there will be a
   live,
   real time control operator, listening to the communications. The
   Control
   Operator may be the licensee or a licensed operator chosen by the
   licensee.
   2. An audio stream will be configured so that the Commission may
   monitor the
   repeaters at any time the repeaters are on.
   3. Stations coming on to the repeaters, if not known by the control
   operator,
   will be asked to identify at the beginning of their transmission, not
   just
   after ten minutes.
   4. (a). If unlicensed stations come on to the repeaters, an
   announcement will
   be made by the Control Operator that the repeater does not welcome or
   tolerate unlicensed users. In cases where unlicensed operators persist
   in
   communications over the repeater, the repeater will be turned off by
   the
   Control Operator and the matter reported to the Commission.
   (b). When licensed stations are not abiding by Commission rules in
   their operation on the repeaters, they will be asked to correct their
   operation to comply with the Amateur rules. In cases where a licensed
   operator persists in violating Commission rules, the Control Operator,
   on a
   case by case basis, may decide to (1) turn the repeater off; or (2)
   leave the
   repeater in operation and report the matter to the Commission.
   (c). In both situations (a) and (b) above, the responsibility of the
   licensee of K7IJ is subject to the provisions of Section 97.205(g) of
   the
   Commission's Rules relating to inadvertent retransmissions by
   repeaters.
   5. No further action will be taken against K7IJ or Blake Jenkins,
   N6YSA, if
   the repeaters are operated in accordance with these conditions.
