   Other then the 3 local nets, the repeaters are mainly silent.  A couple    
   repeaters I've never have hear being used execpting for testing.   
      
    The local club's net and ARES get 3 or 4 check-ins typically, the saturday    
   net gets half a dozen or so, it's running on a number of echolinked    
   repeaters covering a good part of southern Ontario, I have heard it get to    
   a dozen check ins.   It's a shame that with the expense and time the people    
   that run them put into them, that they aren't used more.
