Well, north AL isn't in too bad a shape, which means that the WIDE7-7s 
I see are a lot farther away.  By the time I got from 
Huntsville/Decatur to Memphis or Indiana or South Carolina the 
"educating" that I'd be in the mode for would be less of the Elmer 
variety and more of the stick with nails in it variety. (:

Seriously, I have tried to educate some that I have seen from my home 
station, via email.  The vast majority had either no address or an 
invalid address, or they simply did not respond to my email.  The only 
one that did reply made a joke of it; I don't know if he fixed his 
station or not.

Maybe I should make up a letterhead for the North Alabama APRS Network 
Working Group's Abuse Prevention Team (consisting solely of yours 
truly) and drop $0.37 on a letter to the address of record for that 
call.
