BUT,
let me tell you about how bad the southern CA. radio site owners are
becoming. We had a 4 day outage at a very large site where one of my
radios is located. None of them care anymore about backup power. This
happened this past week. We took up our own Generator because the site
owner (a national site company) won't maintain an old one. My friend (a
microwave isp ) fixed the site owners by adding oil and a new battery.
That will take us out!
Over the weekend I heard an account of the communications breakdown in
New Orleans. Ham radio effectiveness was diminished because of a shortage of
"pre-positioned" generators.
What I've learned from this thread is that integrating Asterisk and ham
radio is feasible and potentially useful.
I also learned that essential infrastructure - repeaters - are
softening assets.
What's more, google hits for "asterisk ham" have increased
significantly and become useful. This thread comes up #3 on Google.
Thanks everyone.
