Adopted August 24, 2023

CCARC reserves the right to alter or make exceptions to this policy at any time, for any reason, without prior notice.

GMRS LICENSE
You must have a current GMRS license to use the CCARC GMRS repeater. Your immediate family members may also use a repeater under your supervision.

IDENTIFICATION
You should identify yourself by stating your GMRS call sign at the beginning of each conversation and approximately every ten minutes thereafter.

CONVERSATION LENGTH
Other users may be monitoring a repeater on a regular basis in order to be of service to others in need. Please be considerate of them.  If your brief conversation turns into a lengthy one, please consider whether you might wish to continue the conversation by telephone.

CONVERSATION CONTENT
A GMRS license permits the licensee’s family members to operate a radio and use a repeater.  In order to ensure that the repeater is a family-friendly place, please conduct yourself as though children are present.  Avoid the use of coarse language and avoid using the repeater to advance your personal views on sensitive issues.

COMMERCIAL USE PROHIBITED
The CCARC GMRS repeater is intended for non-commercial use only.  Use of the repeater for commercial purposes is strictly prohibited.

DISCLAIMER
The operation and coverage of the CCARC GMRS repeater cannot be guaranteed and may vary from time to time.
