[App_rpt-users] RANGER links?

[Bryan D. Boyle]

went nowhere.  turns out the League did some quiet lobying on Constitution Ave because we had the temerity to think outside their defined box and go it alone without their blessing.

<sarcasm>
After all, you can't designate a single 5khz channel out of all the bandwidth we have allocated as something universally known in the hobby as somewhere to get help....where else would locals on 2M simplex go to talk about their prostate treatments and what was for lunch at the buffet?  I mean, we were trying to actually develop an automated way of standing up an emergency comms network gratis.  can't have that in the amateur service...not what we're about, right?
