Website Changes

I decided to pull the Cincinnati repeater listing today. First, it was way out of date. It was the only part of the website that was written in HTML. Changes and updates just took too much time.

With many of the repeaters having changed from FM to some sort of digital mode like DStar, DMR, Fusion or P25, the listing just was not accurate.

So until I can find a better way to maintain the repeater listing and easily update the constant changes, the Cincinnati Repeater Listing has been deleted from the site.

Why buy radios if you are not going to use them?

Each and every year I attend the Dayton Hamvention. I don't think I have missed a year in the past 20 years. I watch people buying new handheld radios like they are going to stop manufacturing them any day now.

Then, when Dayton is all over, the repeaters are relatively silent. What are you people doing with these radios? Just listening to nothing? I don't get it.

Hams are in this hobby to communicate. So why aren't we talking on the repeaters anymore?

Not to mention, when I go to the meetings of my local ham radio club, the room is usually filled with 50 or more people, and you're lucky if you hear even 10 of those people on any of the club repeaters at any time during the week.

Come on people, get on the radio. Talk and make friends. Learn something interesting about others. Communicate something interesting about you. If you are going to be a ham, then act like a ham and use the flipping radios!
