Demonstrated Abandonment of Existing Coordination...The terms for demonstration of abandonment are: If you find the channel unoccupied, notify SCRRBA in writing, and include your methods of determining such. SCRRBA will then assign a "monitor" to watch the channel, and begin a paper review of the existing coordination. The first item we would look for is a notice from the coordinee that his system is "temporarily off" for some reason. The next paper steps would be to attempt to verify that the coordinee still exists and has a mailing address within the coordination region, (IE has not moved out of the area), and a review of additional contact information in our files. Generally, this takes long enough that we are close enough to a 3 month target time (see explanation below) where we could notify the trustee that his coordination is in jeopardy and ask for an explanation. Often, at this point, the trustee makes long and involved explanations, and often threats, and may proceed to resurrect his system. SCRRBA MAY, but is not required to, grant a 6 month extension of time. From this point on, we are very picky about just what constitutes "restoring" the operation to retain the coordination. The system must become fully operational FROM THE COORDINATED SITE before the 6 months (or extension) expire, or the coordination is lost. SCRRBA coordination standards in this area have been established by vote at various general meetings over the years. Specifically, 6 months of documented inactivity are grounds for termination of a coordination. The membership has requested some notification take place at approximately the 3 month point in any formal proceedings. |
