[OZAPRS] Fill in Digi/iGate for travels

[Ian Bennett]

David,
	I do something similar infrequently; albeit acting as a RF digi only.
	When we camp, we normally walk so I set up a digi in "the tractor" to relay 
posits from my AIO tracker.
	I'll be doing exactly that this weekend. VK1IAN-10 will be digi-ed via 
VK1IAN-4 to VK1RGI. Note that VK1IAN-9 is the tractor's tracker and is on all 
the time I'm driving.
	Steve (VK2ZSZ) is trying to talk me into buying a modem so I can gate 
directly to the internet. Still chewing on that one ;-)
	If you set up a temporary digi, I'd think those in the local area would be 
grateful of the coverage.
	Go for it I say.

Ian
VK1IAN
