Could the person who is sitting on their microphone (or handy talkie) on 105 get up so others can use the repeater?

105 is offline until that person discovers their error.

This is happening more and more often. I just dont understand how it can happen so easily.  Guys and gals, is it SO HARD to make sure your microphone PTT is not activated when you turn on your radio?

If I get busy, I may not be able to turn the rrepeater back on for a few minutes or even hours, as I have several appointments today, so sorry,

If you get pissed off because the repeater is turned off, chastize the person who sits on their microphone not me.

To the person that sat on their microphone:  Thank you for standing up.

105 is fully operational again.
