Subject: How about this?
How about this idea: You have a digipeater in the middle of your desired
area of coverage, with an non-directional antenna. Each station that wants
to use it has a low power narrow beam transmitter and reciever antenna aimed
at the digipeater. When station A transmits a packet to the digipeater, the
digipeater stores it, then sends it out on another frequency, which all
stations are listening to. If the packet is for a station off another
digipeater, the digipeater would send it on a dedicated link to the next
digipeater. Mobile stations would just have to keep their antenna pointed at
the nearest digipeater, or use a non-directional anntenna. Please feel free
to tell me why this idea doesn't work.
David Findlay
P.S. The digipeaters would all be on hills.

Buy a book on packet. It will prevent you from having the same ideas as
everyone else had 10-15 years ago.

I think Rob is right. There are some very basic things that you are
trying to discuss that are in books on packet. You also need to learn
a few things about radio in general - you don't seem to understand
receiver desense, intermod, or cross-band operation, just to name a few.

Subject: It's kind of a shame...
Just passed my Extra examination, and I'm left with kind of a empty
feeling. Even though I won't be using CW any time soon, I think it
would have been better if I HAD had to pass a 10, 13, or even 15wpm
test in addition to the written exam(forget 20wpm!).
If there hadn't have been such ruthless opposition to the lowering of
the requirements at some earlier date, to some reasonable numbers(say
5/10/15 N/G/E), I doubt if we would have seen this "rubber-band" effect
of having 5wpm Extras.
Oh well, now I can devote more time to my applications, like the towers
I'm building, and the high-speed wireless Internet gateways I want to
set up. I even decided to finally join the ARRL. I'll probably even
buy a new ARRL handbook(my 1994 version is getting a bit old).
For me, restructuring has been a pretty good thing. It got me back
into the hobby(which I had distanced myself from back in 1995, when it
appeared to me to be firmly stuck in the past). However, I think it
just went a bit too far. The ARRL's recommendation of 13wpm(or was it
10 or 12?) for Extras was pretty much right on. It just came so late,
that they had lost all credibility by then. What a shame.
