[OZAPRS] Digipeating

[Terry Neumann]

Some interesting aspects are emerging from this discussion.

Personally I would support VK3MY digipeating whether by design or 
accident.   It enables others, mobiles especially, to get an immediate 
confirmation that their beacons are being received, by what is, by 
common agreement the refernce station for us all.  It's also, it seems, 
the most consistent one heard by most observers.    I would support this 
at least until Andrew's foray into the outback is completed.

I don't feel that other home stations should digipeat - mine certainly 
won't be.

Inciddently, I left my tnc on a couple a nights ago.  The  MH list 
showed three stations from France.   I'm revising my earlier 
observations :-)

However listening to 10.147 on the tractor yesterday morning confirmed 
the number and strength of (presumiably non amateur) sigs with which we 
need to compete.  In some respects, if we can make "our" frequency a 
little more busy at this stage, it might almost be a good thing.  
(Perhaps you had better forget I wrote that).
