[aprssig] New Local Info Initiative

[Dave Baxter]

I think you hit the nail on the head with....

"...to tell the passing traveler exactly what one-and-only-one local
repeater is best for the visiting traveler..."

I suspect local politics will come into play, and there will never be a
decision as to "which is best" etc. 

Cynicaly...
