WHY DO WE NEED MORE REPEATERS ? You have 300 khz waiting for D-Star and echo-link and not one station there .... IF there is repeater pairs not being used or just used on paper go use them ... Here in Tampa I'll bet 90% of the repeaters have less that 10 users a week. D-Star is 1/10 of the 2 meter users now why not go on 300 UNUSED KHZ .... ?
