Hey Guys ,  Jack and David

Just noticed a couple of wrong things going on .. I think your on 40m.. I am
still on 20m and have nothing to report as recieved here except ZL2TZE-4 at
times over the last 3 days. So 20m seems pretty dead to me.

Now Jack your frames are address in the TO field as GATE .. This is wrong.
You should be addressing per the APRS spec to something like APxxxx acording
to your software or TNC which Ive no idea what it might be. Perhaps this is
being generated by the SCS TNC .. The path should be Via GATE,WIDE2-1 on HF.
With the TO field set like that many software packages will ignore it . If
you dont know what to set it to then try APRS in the TO field. Packages like
UiView and xastir set these fields themselves by default.

David,  Your not quite there either. Your Path should be Via GATE,WIDE2-1
not just via WIDE2 .. Thats a general rule on HF
