OK - so the truth of the "European" Trust is that it comprises about 8 repeaters mostly around the heavily populated area of Dortmund and one repeater in the US.
So, that excludes the other 26 countries that make up the European Union. A few weeks ago, I was driving in that area. I'd been chatting via one of the Dutch repeaters to a friend back in the UK, and crossed into Germany (I wanted to test my car on the unrestricted Auotbahn....) I found a D-Star repeater, not realising that it was in this unconnected group. I tried to call to my friend, and got an RPT? back. Then I tried to link to one of the D-Plus reflectors - no go. We simply cannot have disconnected islands like this - all it is going to do is to put off D-Star users who will moan like mad about the multiple networks, just as I do with Echolink, IRLP, eQSO, etc, etc. Erik is 100% correct.
