Suggest you stand back and look at the big picture of what I've
been trying to say for several years now. The world is different
everywhere you go -- you have 50 stations within about 66 miles, I have 50
stations within 96 miles. (See
http://66.78.35.146/cgi-bin/near.cgi?call=KF4OTN and
http://66.78.35.146/cgi-bin/near.cgi?call=Kd5xb-2 )
Except I only see a fraction of them because you have to use a
longer path that WIDE2-2 to get that far.
And Bob -- who legitimately has a problem with congestion -- has
50 stations within only 13 miles. The whole "New N-n Paradigm" was to try
a fix a problem that BOB is having, not me, and probably not you. I
seriously doubt this type of congestion occurs outside of big cities.
If you read my message again, you may notice that I never said I
want to see stations nation-wide.
It would be really interesting if a few people from the east coast
would come set up their stations in, say, Hereford, Texas, and see just how
congested the system ISN'T. We don't need these fixes out here because the
system isn't congested out here.
Try walking a mile in MY shoes...
