    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Yes.  I've spoken @ WWARA already in
      order to address the repeater owners throughout the Puget Sound. 
      What came of that is that most repeater owners have very little
      power over their sites when it comes to installing new gear, and
      are typically (>95%) not the site owners.  It's still a viable
      avenue though in terms of who might be interested in using or
      supporting such a system, but probably not from the
      sites-for-HamWAN angle.  Perhaps you know more repeater folks,
      give it a shot!<br>
      <br>
      FWARC has expressed the most interest in D-Star over HamWAN for
      their D-Star system.  However, their site is fairly low down, on
