The 442.15 repeater system is run as a benevolent dictatorship. Experimentation with other support and control systems has shown us that our current system results in the smoothest operation. It is an open repeater system which encourages all licensed amateur operators to participate.

Financial support is accomplished by the core group financing the majority of equipment costs. These are actual equity holders in the system. Donations of lesser amounts are taken by active users as the needs arise. These smaller donors are non-equity holders in the system.

On air policy is as follows. The trustee (AB5N) is ultimately responsible for the legal operation of the system. The system is registered through the Texas VHF FM Society. The Equity owners encourage freedom of speech, debate and discourse on any topic with free and un-fettered communication of ideas and philosophies between all system users. We feel we can serve the community best -when users feel comfortable to express their thoughts in a healthy and supportive environment. Normal rules of decorum and mutual respect are to be observed. The trustee reserves the right to bar any station from using the system without prior notice.
