  • Tom N1YR:

    “Definitive” net directory? 29 US States have NO amateur radio nets listed at all?
    Only 5 US States have more than two nets each?

    I’m guessing the software may have a good start, but calling the database “definitive” before it is fully populated is premature.

  • Hi Tom, yes, it’s ambitious and it’s always good to have a strong vision. I hope you’ll check back in on the progress in the future!
