[OZAPRS] HF APRS

[Richard]

Hi Gordon,

I have to update the documentation.

The part should be set to APRS via GATE,WIDE2-1

Ray, the main Net Gateway will need to send out beacons at a similar 
rate to VK4MY-4 on 30mtrs. It would also be a help to station if the 
Gateway had the ECHO path active for operators to tune in their stations.

Cheers
Richard
