[OZAPRS] European v USnewparadigmand pathlimiting +confusion....

[Richard Hoskin]

Gday Andrew,

I think you're on the right path.

>From Bob's previous email it appears that I have taken the SSn-n to
literally mean states of Australia when it doesn't. Some of our states are
'bigger that Texas!' and I just couldn't see how a state based pathing
system would work efficiently.

Zoning would make more sense. We use a different implementation of Zones
in
VK3 already.

Cheers
