[OZAPRS] VK3 APRS Network News

[Craig Cook]

Hi Richard. imagine my surprise when I fixed the fault in my TNC and got 
back on air to find VK3JFK-1 was replaced by VK3ROW-1 on my screen. As I
can 
hit ROW with a HT from inside my house the path seems alright to me. Hope
to 
have my 828 up on new channel soon and may take it up to Murray marathon
if 
working then.
