<font size="2"><font face="Arial">I'm all for this, but we need to
have an open database for this to work. There must be trust on
both sides and a desire to solve problems. A policy development

true ..an intervention is clearly needed.</div>

performance of the FRC and the attrition of  Hams capable of
ginning up a repeater .,constitute a rapidly approaching

I'm 31 and have been working to stem the tide of this. We have 5
newly licensed hams in the local area via our club and 4 best in
region repeaters across 3 modes. The HamWAN deployment is coming
along well in Tampa Bay. <br>
