Nate,
Your scenario won't work with the current implementation. The update rate for
current user location is nowhere near sufficient for a real time event. It also
can cause problems with someone transmitting to another repeater and not
knowing that a QSO is in progress.

I honestly don't know why this is such a big deal to some folks? If
someone pops in between transmissions on one of my QSOs, I just call
them and let them know what's going on, whether its to invite them to
the current QSO, to standby, or other.
It's a hobby folks.

But if you are in the middle of a public service event, then there's often a
bunch of traffic occurring on the channels. And if you return the call, you
have to hope that the one-touch worked, and that no additional traffic started
on the other repeater. And then you've got to remember to

How would you use call sign routing if you obscured the callsigns ?
Call signs are a part of DSTAR and really the matter in my opinion is
having dstarusersorg log time and date and repeater vs call sign (maybe
a real call sign, and maybe not). DX Central manually does similar for
DX Spotting,
I probably wasn't very clear - no doubt other monikers in the call sign
space would work and you could register them - it would be nice to
translate back to the real call sign in the process or have some sort of
xlation between moniker / alias and call sign. I don't recognize cryptic
aliases,
WOW!!!
I never meant to start all of this; I just wanted to know if I could
surprise a distant ham buddy of mine. I guess I'll just send him an email!!
