As far as D-Star goes, I've tried explaining away each objection and the
detractor just finds another problem. I finally gave up trying to convince
individuals. The one thing that has made a difference though is to just keep
telling people how much fun I'm having with it and to keep talking about it
in club meetings.

someone asks then I just say its great and that I'm loving it.
The Atlanta Radio Club has been involved in D-Star from the beginning, but
many of our members have been detractors from the beginning. After several
years of just continuing to talk about it, people who had avoided D-Star
have started asking questions about it. We started announcing D-Star nets on
our weekly analog net. Some of those detractors will never come on board,
but some are objecting less and less and some have gotten involved in
D-Star. (Some even drank the Kool-Aid.)
>>> Is there a way to join your nets?
I think the key is to just keep telling people how much fun it is and what
it can do. Some of them will get interested, others won't and that's
consistent with everything else in Ham Radio.
>>> agreed.
