Well Horst and other stone throwing commenters

How about you find some sites
Pay for the sites
Install all the equipment
Pay for the Multicouplers, antenna's , feeders, power supplies 
etc....etc  Rigging costs......etc
Pay for , install , configure and get working the internet connectivity....
Pay for the Dstar repeaters....etc

Then we will all stand back and throw stones at you, and bag you for the 
fine work you've done
all in your own and families time.

It's loving appreciating people like you that make it all worth while.
This mailing list is an information and constructive communication venue
NOT A SOUR GRAPES FORUM
Take up lawn bowls and complain to the greens keeper about the quality of 
the grass.
Have a nice day too

Why did i post this?, in support of the fine people who do spend all their 
time doing it.
"The hardworking backgrounders", and i am one of them. Because i can, not a 
"power thing" as you suggest

Yes the 4 second warning message should NOT be necessary, but like some 
children and unfortunately
some adults, need constant reminders to do the right thing and behave in an 
apropriate manner.

Regards Steve
