- >>>>"Monitoring" means just that.
-
- Interesting you should say that. I had to read the rest of the paragraph
- to figure out what *you* think it means.
-
- I was once active on a repeater in southeast Texas where "monitoring"
- meant "I'm a control operator and I'm in charge here", and ordinary
- users were strongly discouraged from saying it. We were supposed to say
- "listening" instead.
-
- There's no substitute for understanding the local lingo, even when it
- doesn't seem to make sense.
