I like the idea very much. But I am an radio amateur and therefore I am |
15 |
a little bit biased :). I was always confused to find them in |
16 |
media-radio. If we do the move please count on me. |

But to be honest there are some amateur (ham) radio related packages in |
19 |
other categories too (e.g. app-misc/aldo - a cw morse trainer, |
20 |
app-text/7plus - a packet radio text encoder, ..). So maybe a general |
21 |
cleanup would be good. |

A quick count in media-radio gives 12 packages for amateur radio and 2 |
24 |
others (the second one coming in just today). In sunrise there are 11 |
25 |
amateur radio related packages and 0 others. That means a move to |
26 |
app-hamradio would leave media-radio nearly empty. |
