Ian .. I had exactly the same experience late last year around Sept/Oct on
the Hume highway.. I was getting posits in off an Igate but was unable to
get any back into the system till much closer to Sydney..

I left Wagga which was working fine and then just north of Gundagai I
starting getting posits off an Igate to the East but noticed that it was
impossible to get any back into the system. I tried using some alternate
paths as well.. This was a D700 50w into a 5/8 .. No digipeat of my own
posits.

I did mention this on this group before. Either we are not privy to the
paths required out there or the Digis are deaf. I notice that parts of VK2
have allready changed over to the new Paradigm  paths but Ive no idea of
the
situation Sept/Oct last year.

weekend
and thought I'd pass on my experience.

well
outside of Goulburn, however it was only when I hit Queanbeyan that I
managed to get a handful of my positions heard (TXing my position every
minute with a 30w amp).

me
out fine around Wollongong/Sydney. I was receiving a heck of a lot of
traffic from all over VK while in range of the VK1 digis.
