Yes, providing Hams the info they need to communicate better.

Anything that helps us communicate better is better for our
ability for public service...

>Objects such as the WL2K ...and the IRLP stuff only benefits 
>ourselves as hams and really has no value as a public service.....

I reach exactly the opposite conclusion.  These objects and
these links, IRLP, EchoLink and WL2K all improve our
tool bag of communications abilities.  That makes of more value
to public service...


>f....what "value" are you bringing to the table with is new data? 

Situational awareness of all Ham radio Communiations assets
within local range of a mobile.  I cannot think of anything 
more important to a mobile or portable operator for his
ability to support public service...
