EOL for my ATV/DATV project
Posted: Sat Dec 05, 2020 1:57 pm
After more than two years of work and a significant amount of money I am closing down the ATV/DATV project I have been running.
Despite all my efforts at reinvigorating ATV/DATV activity there has been an abundance of apathy combined with a complete lack of active participation and support.
I am no longer willing to take on the time and financial burden of putting up a completed and functional repeater and other infrastructure for people to then come along and use it without having contributed in anyway.
The final push to terminate the project came when I heard that certain local hams are questioning my integrity and reputation ON-AIR and starting/spreading rumours that, amongst other things, I have been taking money for the project and pocketing it..
I will continue to be a member of BATC and will hopefully be able to be involved via IP links to repeaters and in the future I may even more to another city with an active ATV/DATV community.
