[aprssig] APRS and the Interstates

[Mark Cheavens]

Bob,
I agree in getting people to install in remote areas. The problem is 
not people getting the hardware built or installed, it is finding 
suitable sites and prices. It is too bad that the ARRL did not fight 
harder for better site access after 9/11 and Katrina/Rita.

In the flat lands we don't have the ease of mountaintop access.
