Hi,

What we need more than anything else is activity on the air. Without 
activity there's not a lot of point in all this. Repeaters are a good 
way to get a lot of activity on a single channel.

So back to the rules and regs. Can we set this up as a remotely 
controlled digital station? What I would propose would be a group of 
receiver sites around the country. Each one would feed data to the 
repeater transmitter. Voting the various receiver sites and that stuff 
is pretty straight forward (but not necessarily easy).

Hooking up the receivers to the transmitter via the internet isn't very 
new, but it is a non-mechanical solution. The repeater (or what ever) 
would be pretty 1990's but if we set it up right we can run it all with 
"real" equipment on the user end.

Of course I'm probably certifiably crazy on this point .... hope I 
don't get banned :)

	Take Care!
