This is a better topic for a discussion than a poll, but it's an old one too, in that it has been raised in the context of Echolink and eQSO over the years. The more people you ask, the more differing opinions you'll receive! :) Personally, I like to throw RF around, so I prefer to use a gateway or hotspot (just finished building a hotspot), rather than the dongle, but the dongle is a useful tool that fits some situations better. 73 de VK3JED / VK3IRL http://vkradio.com
