But I am an radio amateur and therefore I am a little bit biased :). I was always confused to find them in media-radio. If we do the move please count on me. But to be honest there are some amateur (ham) radio related packages in other categories too (e.g. app-misc/aldo - a cw morse trainer, app-text/7plus - a packet radio text encoder, ..). So maybe a general cleanup would be good. A quick count in media-radio gives 12 packages for amateur radio and 2 others (the second one coming in just today). In sunrise there are 11 amateur radio related packages and 0 others. That means a move to app-hamradio would leave media-radio nearly empty. Regards Thomas.
