Repeaters are a crutch for the lazy and inept who don't have
sufficient technical expertise to make a radio contact without using a
relay station. IRLP is pretty much the same.

That is so much ******** Walt, it defies reason. That is trolling at it's
finest.

This country is 31.5 times larger than the UK, those vast distances require
much better systems for any sort of coverage and repeaters are the way to do
it. Whilst I operate 40m mobile a lot, it isn't the total solution, nor is
the simplex VHF coverage due to hilly terrain.
