Gday 

                My Name is Tony Tomlinson VK4HOG the son of VK4OG.  I am
wondering what the problem is with my father running a APRS Digi at his
home
and gating surrounding information to the internet as well as gating North
Qld data around Brisbane on RF. What I can't understand is that someone in
the greater Brisbane area needs to gate the information to the internet
why
not him. Without this digi and the gateway, no messages can be sent
between
North Qld and South East Qld via APRS. Up here something like 11 Digi's
are
running with 2 gateways, (one a backup) within a 500Km radius from
Gladstone
to Proserpine and West to Emerald, without problems and all SE Qld traffic
is also gated to RF. Maybe you should take the time to thank him and all
the
others involved in getting this excellent service up and running rather
than
complaining about the unapparent affect, it has on you and the proceedings
of your endeavors as stated in previous threads on this forum. As mention
in
previous threads that no data was gated while traveling south until the
Brisbane airport area was reached, yet VK4OG-1 covers from the Sunshine
Coast into Brisbane. I don't see the problem. The only reason the gateway
was down was he was away from home and had network issues and it was
rectified as soon as he got home.

 

                  Regards Tony Tomlinson  VK4HOG
