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.

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?

Ahh.. ok.. thanks Bryan :) I was aware of LiTZ, but was not aware of an effort to spearhead it's usage here in the US ala RANGER, so that's pretty cool :) 

I don't guess it went anywhere?

This is part of a proposal that Jim and Bryan Doyle few others had back in
2006 or so.  Basically it was a simplex node that would monitor the calling
frequency for Long DTMF 0 "LiTZ" and then link into a given repeater node.

Note the Ranger nodes are prefixed with a 9 node number, and all 9 node
numbers will use the ranger courtesy tone.

Confused the heck out of me when I gave my 900 MHz test node number 927 and
then got this CT! http://keekles.org/~w9cr/40821%20wierd%20tone.wav
