And how many times do I need to repeat that while you can use Part 97 in
the event scenarios you reference, it is ***not*** permissible to
forward/send non-federal transmission originated advisory and test
messages without translation.

That is the fatal element of using Part 97 in any organized automatic
local relay system beyond NWR. It's use is limited to ad-hoc involvement
which do not always lend themselves to a given circumstance. What good is
a system which can not be tested lest it disrupt the originating sender
message time stamp through re-orignating/transcribing the message?

Now...if the message to be relayed originates from IPAWS, that would be a
different matter altogether. That presumes a CAP connected ENDEC at the
Part 97 relaying station (and so long as it doesn't come through a Part 90
station).  I know of few Part 97 licensees who would pony up $2000+ for a
new CAP enabled ENDEC however.
