[OZAPRS] HF APRS Paths etc

[Robert Thirkettle]

Hi All Looking at http://vk3.aprs.net.au/aprs_on_hf.htm I don't know who
owns this  site but it contains some out of date info re paths etc if
the owner of the site could update their pages to reflect the adoption
of widen-n  for VHF and for HF of gate,widen-n also the number for n
should be as Bob Bruninga says use any number for n as long as it's less
than 2

Hi,

     It appears to me that the path on TX means very little when it 
comes to HF, VHF etc.

Altho some seem to think it is something special.
