I think the VK3s would like to see the occasional VK7 beacon. However we
are
a bit weary of mobiles that may have beacon rates set to excessive levels
eg
more than one beacon per minute. Even with a path of TAS3-3 you will still
have an impact on some of VK3 Digipeaters, especially if your beacon rate
is
high.

I think Tassie is in a unique situation. Being an island you will not
experience the same cross border issues as the rest of us do.

Your right, Tassie needs are different to other states. So I'd suggest
that
SSn-n may work for you but it would not work for VK3 or maybe VK5 etc.

In VK3 we have implemented a different 'Zone' system which I will talk
about
later.

Cheers
