>>>>"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.
