IRLP, as I see it, is just a way to get repeater linking done
independent of the restrictions of site-based link transceivers.

My feeling is that "hams" who feel that using radio is a "restriction"
should consider moving on to another hobby.

I've done a bit of research over the past year.
Notes are in a folder in the left-hand desk drawer.
If you want to see them you have to come visit.

Pretty simple to check the callsigns (where the poster
actually admits to having a callsign) against databases
like the DX spotting networks. To date there has been
one hit. I know it sound silly, but of those folks who
seem to think "not using radio" is some kind of advancement
of the art of "using radio" ... only one actually seems to
have ever used radio in the past year. Imagine my surprise.

No, I didn't bother to check license databases or qrz.com
or whatever to check whether the callsigns used by those
posting "anti-ham-radio" posts were actually licensed.

No, I will not divulge the callsign of the European ham who
showed up in the DX spotting network (JA database) :-)
