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

[Richard Hoskin]

Jack,

Both are correct.

Australia is currently in the middle of changing to the New-Paradigm
(changing the way APRS paths work). Some areas support WIDE others support
WIDE1-1 and some support both.

VK3MY-4 supports both at the moment and will move to support only
GATE,WIDE1-1 sometime in the future (It will be announced here).

>From memory here is what the other states support:
VK7ARN-4 - GATE,WIDE1-1 only
VK4DMI-4 - GATE,WIDE
VK8ZAB-4 - GATE,WIDE
VK5EX-4  - GATE,WIDE
VK2 is different between the North and SouthEast of the state.

Note that GATE,WIDE1-1 should work in most states that support GATE,WIDE.

Cheers
Richard

Well, I based my original setup on the pages that Tony, VK5AH quoted in
good
faith. Today, I phoned Ross, VK3MY and he suggested GATE, WIDE1-1 was the
correct path. I guess there are now conflicting settings that need to be
adjusted, to suit a common agreed path setting for  HF stations on 30
metres,  that are mobiles etc.

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.
