[arm-allstar] Link to a node for x minutes then disconnect

[David McGough]

Hi Everyone,

Nope, Doug IS CORRECT about NOAA retransmission.

This topic has been discussed previously, but, note that the 
repeater-builder page is OUT OF DATE. Part 97.113(e) was removed from the 
FCC Rules several years ago. See the updated rules at the website, below. 

Basically, the updated rules closed the loophole for Amateur
retransmission of NOAA broadcasts. Period. I've already gotten two legal
opinions about this, one coming from the ARRL General Counsel.
