[k6arc] Reverse Autopatch

I interpret it the same way you do, Sam. And in the past, members who
phoned in from distant locations usually provided advance notification so
NCS knew it was coming.

Greetings,

This is from the ARRL phone patch, autopatch and HF/VHF/UHF operating
Guidelines Web page.
Each of you can interrupted it anyway you like.

As an control operator, I will not answer an reverse autopatch, I value my
license.

=====================================================


Reverse Autopatch


No unlicensed person may initiate an amateur transmission without the
knowledge and approval of the station's control operator. Incoming calls to
an autopatch must be answered and screened off the air by the control
operator to ensure rule compliance. If an incoming call automatically
causes the repeater to transmit, even if it's just a signal tone or
notification message, then it is possible for an unlicensed person to
initiate a transmission without the control operator's knowledge or
approval, which is not permitted. The use of a reverse autopatch is
permitted only under very limited conditions. This is not to restrict the
Amateur Service unduly, but to protect the character of the service.
