Other then the 3 local nets, the repeaters are mainly silent. A couple ¨repeaters I've never have hear being used execpting for testing. The local club's net and ARES get 3 or 4 check-ins typically, the saturday ¨net gets half a dozen or so, it's running on a number of echolinked ¨repeaters covering a good part of southern Ontario, I have heard it get to ¨a dozen check ins. It's a shame that with the expense and time the people ¨that run them put into them, that they aren't used more. ¨ @NOTE: IceEdit 1.75 [Eval] --- RA2+ FMail* Origin: HoloDeck BBS - London Canada (1:229/728) SEEN-BY: 203/0 633/0 267 280 281 410 412 640/384 1384 712/620 848 770/1 @PATH: 229/728 426 123/500 154/10 203/0 640/384 712/848 633/280 267 |
