[arm-allstar] Advantages of a hosted hub node

My final response trying to clarify why I am confused. I guess I am just
stuck on stupid because when I look at my node here in Texas I see an RF
repeater. Sure I could send my node to my brother in Ohio but how would
that help my HT with signal propagation? Whether or not I have internet in
Texas, the node being in Ohio certainly will not help me when I press the
PTT button from Texas. I am just missing the middle link to how it all
makes sense.
Computers for example.. I lease servers, but I connect to them with my
laptop. If someone were to lease a node, how would their radio possibly
connect to it?
