It's my understanding that Philly FBI 2M repeater 
was setup late last year, and that it's seldom 
used.  It's also my understanding that it's 
collocated at 600 Arch Street where several other 
federal agencies have repeaters.  Non-FBI hams 
can waste their time spinning their wheels about 
it all they want to no effect.  It's a non-issue 
for the FCC, because it's a federal agency.
