-If a non-RepeaterBook admin is willing to help keep repeater up-to-date on Repeaterbook.com, they can be added as a Repeater Record Custodian (RRC). This person **must** have permission from the repeater owner or trustee to fill this position. If the person's call sign matches that of the repeater or the user indicates that he is authorized to perform updates on the repeater by a person in charge of the repeater, then they can be added as custodian+Repeater owners, trustees, control operators, keepers, etc., can claim their repeater listing and help keep the repeater up-to-date on Repeaterbook.com. This person **must** have permission from the person legally responsible for the proper operation of the repeater. You must be a registered member of RepeaterBook.com to participate.

You must have a RepeaterBook.com account and be logged in.+We often automatically assign registered members to the RRC status if their call sign matches that of the repeater. There are many repeaters inside the United States, and most repeaters outside of the United States using alternative call signs. These repeaters can be manually claimed by individuals and verified by admins.
