The single-channel, repeater-in-the-sky model was always destined for this sort of abuse (or simple ignorance). I've seen this happen on a local repeater, with a footprint of less than 50 miles. Why wouldn't it be expected on something with a footprint 100-1000 times as large?
(*) slight correction -- Earth has a radius of ~3963 miles, so my "100-1000 times" statement was a little superlative. Let's go with 10-100 times. ;-)
