[aprssig] findU bogged down...

[Drew Baxter]

Yeah this unfortunately would be of something of an commercial nature that 
I'm the IT Director for.  I have a sweet deal with a local DSL carrier for 
my amateur radio presence.  I threaten them daily but they keep me pretty 
happy and keep our little network project on-line.  I'm glad that these 
places are willing to help out for things that people rely on, such as 
FindU though.  It reminds me that people are still conscious of amateur 
radio and it isn't 'all but dead' as some people tend to say.

If Verizon is going to roll out fiber optics system-wide the next few years 
then perhaps we'll see more people being able to put their Igates and other 
fun things on their own personal lines.  (www.verizon.net/fios) .  With 
that kind of bandwidth, it'd be quite easy to energize some microwave point 
to points for those mountain-tops to do a number of new things.

Furthest I'll drive is NYC (8 hours away), so they best be keeping that in 
mind is how I see it. :)
