Hi.

Well, I don't know about the rest of OZ but here in Perth most of the 
action is on 145.175. VK6BBS will also accept APRS packets on 144.725 if 
you direct them to VK6BBS-10 on that freq (I think that's the right SSID)

On 145.175 you'll find:

RELAY:  VK6HGR-1, VK6KKD
WIDE: VK6ZTN-1, VK6RLK-1, VK6KSB-1

(Since I run a BBS there are other weird and wonderful paths one can also 
use... on 144.9 digi via VK6ANC-13, VK6HGR-1, WIDE, WIDE will probably 
work! For the sake of preventing boredom in other list members I won't try

and think up the longest valid APRS path :-) )

VK6ZTN is a superb wide digi that seems to cover a good majority of Perth.

RELAY, WIDE, WIDE is probably a good path to use and if any of VK6KCH, 
VK6HGR or VK6KKD hear you (almost a certainty) you'll automagically appear

on the APRS Internet system.

Since the question was brought up... how *is* the APRS network set up in 
other states? :-)

Righto... time to play with my new Trimbal CM-3 GPS module...

Cheers,
Gavin Rogers
