One thing I have discovered is if you build it, sometimes they do NOT come.

First you have to have a need, business case, what ever you want to call it. Services running etc?

I keep hearing this, "services," but what does it mean? A friend put up a repeater on 2 meters. All it does it retransmit what it hears--it's not even linked to anything--and it still seems to attract rag-chewers who test the repeater's heat dissipation capabilities all day long (If they just used their cell phone, or SIP phones on HamWAN, I wouldn't have to listen to them). No need, no business case, and it's still transmitting all day long. Tom
