[OZAPRS] PATH CHANGE IN SYDNEY REGION

[Jack Chomley]

You will NEVER please everyone ;-) I guess you can only please the 
majority, just how much majority? Try it and see what happens, if the 
plan changes don't pan out, then change the plan.
Or, the minority could always do their own thing, set up their own 
Digis, gateways etc, all on a different frequency.....there ARE choices.
