What fill-in digi's?   What rules?

As 2RBX the path between 3RON is intermittent, the path will include
VK3RVL when installed.

As Andrew VK5EX stated, [QUOTE] I don't think that we have yet come to a
final decision on a "New VK Path Standard"  and therefore I doubt
whether there is any documentation as yet 
??

I believe that we really need to get total uniformity amongst all VK
aprs sysops before we formulate any documentation." [UNQUOTE]

And I agree.
There was discussion on this list towards this some time back but was it
was sidetracked by local issues...don't you remember?

> Which alias will be used for the flood path for zoning?

The answer to this question is the one you have disputed above? 

But this is a local VK3/Mildura issue anyway..I don't wish to discuss
local issues on OZAPRS further.
 
Happy Christmas and a Merry New Year to all.
