The number of repeaters doesn't concern me.
Their are a lot of 220 repeaters in the Philadelphia area that need a
lot of work.
However, the number of users is not really important either.
I would rather have 100 good amateur radio operators who look out for
each other and who promote the hobby then have a thousand users that
act like jerks.
