...
  a.) then how would a new or offline IPIP station
connect if AMPRGW were DOWN at the time? 
This is not a task of AMPRGR but of portal.ampr.org

...
  b.) then how do I get routes from AMPRNet without a
DIRECT CONNECTION tunl0 connection to AMPRGW? 
As I wrote is is possible to deploy a second system that does the RIP announcements

...
  c.) what if I can directly reach 2 or more AMPR
subnets (but not the Internet)? 
We already have a large network of radiolinks running here in Europe, and I think also in
some
other areas of the world.  It does not rely much on the internet, except for DNS.  I
download
the ampr.org DNS zonefile daily so I have it available when we are offline.

...
  a.) AMPRGW is currently the only route announcer (but
you address that elsewhere) 
I think it is important because it is the only weak spot I can see.

...
  b.) Next, it's not the ideal route to all subnets

Why not?

...
  c.) this solution addresses the possibility of
redundancy to other subnets, as well as AMPRGW 
I don't understand.  There already is full redundancy.  We have a full mesh.

...
  In planning, it would probably be an alternative to
IPIP, and not a replacement. Ideally, there could be a few regional gateways, other
stations connecting to one or more regional gateway and to other end-user gateways.

That is how we run the network here.  What is your proposed change?
