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.
