Sure, but we have been doing that for many years here in the Netherlands. My proposal was just to get this a little more formalized and widespread, so we could make it worldwide and have it replaced the IPIP mesh so newcomers can more easily connect to it.

It seems to me that we are making this more complicated than is necessary. How about this for a simple approach: There are already a number of HAMs who are already operating small networks and are announcing AMPRnet prefixes to their peers/upstreams.
Why can't we just make a list of these "BGP speaker HAMs", if you will, their locations and their contact info. Other HAMs in the area who wish to connect to AMPRnet and are interested in a more "local" approach (rather than just going through the UCSD edge) can then reach out to one of these "BGP speaker HAMs".
