[HamWAN PSDR] annoying banter...

[Bart Kus]

Yes.  I've spoken @ WWARA already in order to address the repeater 
owners throughout the Puget Sound. What came of that is that most 
repeater owners have very little power over their sites when it comes to 
installing new gear, and are typically (>95%) not the site owners.  It's 
still a viable avenue though in terms of who might be interested in 
using or supporting such a system, but probably not from the 
sites-for-HamWAN angle.  Perhaps you know more repeater folks, give it a 
shot!

FWARC has expressed the most interest in D-Star over HamWAN for their 
D-Star system.  However, their site is fairly low down, on Graham Hill.
