[OZAPRS] APRS on 30 metres HF (Robert Bruninga)

[Tony Hunt]

With the greatest of respect Bob I gotta say your a bit off beam here if
not
misleading. Telling us what to do from over your way is way off sometimes.
The New paradigm isnt implenented here as yet and saying things like.

"(it used to be VIA GATE,WIDE, but the WIDE part  of that is now obsolete
and will not work)."

Just isnt true.. Recomending anything with WIDE1-1 isnt allways guaranteed
to get very far either

That might all work nice for you but are we really expecting the
Ionosphere
to work that well that we can make regular use of your HF gates over there
?? I think not. By the way we have our own HF gates over here and
sometimes
they pick up posit beacons transmitted from your gateways ..

Maybee for the best solution to the question in VK land have a look at
this
web page which isnt all that dated.
