+THIS EXAMPLE WILL NOT WORK AS IT IS - YOU MUST SPECIFY NAMES AND GROUP IDS!!!
+NOTES:
+    * GROUP_HANGTIME should be set to the same value as the repeaters in the IPSC network
+    * NAME is any name you want, and is used to match reciprocal rules for user-activateion
+    * ACTIVE should be set to True if you want the rule active by default, False to be inactive
+    * ON and OFF are LISTS of Talkgroup IDs used to trigger this rule off and on. Even if you
+        only want one (as shown in the ON example), it has to be in list format. None can be
+        handled with an empty list, such as " 'ON': [] ".
+    * TO_TYPE is timeout type. If you want to use timers, ON means when it's turned on, it will
+        turn off afer the timout period and OFF means it will turn back on after the timout
+        period. If you don't want to use timers, set it to anything else, but 'NONE' might be
+        a good value for documentation!
+    * TIMOUT is a value in minutes for the timout timer. No, I won't make it 'seconds', so don't
+
+        ask. Timers are performance "expense".
+DO YOU THINK THIS FILE IS TOO COMPLICATED?
+    Because you guys all want more and more features, this file is getting complicated. I have
+    dabbled with using a parser to make it easier to build. I'm torn. There is a HUGE benefit
+    to having it like it is. This is a python file. Simply running it
+    (i.e. "python hb_routing_rules.py) will tell you if there's a syntax error and where. Think
+    about that for a few minutes :)
