[hpsdr] repository move needed

[Dominic Hawken]

I think it's extremely unlikely that the load is from HPSDR (or any 
other legitimate users for that matter) is the cause, given the level of 
kits in action and traffic on this list. I'd love to think that Flex and 
HPSDR users had hit that critical mass, but somehow I doubt it.

I run SVN servers here and happy to donate them to the cause. Simple 
password access for each group would suffice - like putting a captcha on 
your contact form...

Will take a couple of weeks to sort so ready for the new year, or you 
can just remove anonymous access and see the bot access dissapear.
