The short answer is no. There currently is no river system wide
network of receivers managed by any company or agency.

We currently have coverage in three areas, but in order to provide a
useful service for safety, monitoring and performance management, more
coverage will be needed. This could either be under the umbrella of
either a non-profit organization or as a standard business.

Now that we've covered the premise of the question.... any help?

I am want to develop a network of AIS receivers with coverage of the
US inland waterways(miss, Ohio, Illinois rivers and the gulf).
Searching the web mostly results in sites targeted for cell phone
carriers. Does anyone know of any sites that would be more appropriate
for this type of need? How do locate sites/towers to be used for
repeaters for example?

Ideally well located amateur towers would probably be best.

Thanks in Advance.
