[OZAPRS] Ballina area pretty dead for APRS

[Steve Sharp]

G'day Gerard, I didn't take it as criticism, it was just remarkable timing
that the improvement happened after you wrote about the lack of coverage up
this way.

A few more people are starting to show an interest as a result of the
fill-in digi, so we're hoping that we'll get even more interested with the
better gear in situ on Mt Nardi.

Now that the fill-in gear is back on the bench, we'll give it an alignment
and see if there's any obvious hole that we can stick it in and improve
the Northern Rivers coverage.
