[OZAPRS] News from Queensland

[Richard Hoskin]

Murray,

What advantage is there in using corner pegging when trying to reduce
network traffic is your main aim.

Corner pegging has its place in selected situations such as a rally event.
It's not required for day to day operations where most people don't use
high
enough resolution maps to see any difference or care that VK4ABC is
turning
a corner.

Remember one of the main aims of the Queensland network re-design is to
reduce RF packets.

Cheers
