Yeah, great thoughts Bob. Many ways into and around inside of this great hobby. I think Tom might be right that we're off-topic, unless we're talking about having a repeater-builder discussion about how to build repeater communities. And, I'd like to hear his feedback and not tick him off anymore, so I don't want to continue this thread here. I'm glad there's a new 6m Repeater in Central NH, glad there are repeaters and mailing lists to enjoy in my free-time, and having a ball. Some people aren't, and I can't see too many ways to remedy that if they're negative about things. Building and maintaining repeaters has certainly made my life better in a number of ways, worse in a few. If it wasn't a "net gain", I certainly wouldn't be doing it! :-) -- Nate Duehr, WY0X [EMAIL PROTECTED]
