[OZAPRS] Coffs Harbour DIGI

[Ray Wells]

I think I'd have noticed it missing from my map if it was off-air for 
any length of time.

This may not be the answer but, something to consider about Mt. Moombil 
is that it doesn't get into parts of Coffs Harbour very well. For that 
reason there is a television translator site at Bruxner Park, close to 
the city.

The voice repeater may be fine but aprs is digital and just one missing 
bit (from flutter, e.g.) corrupts the entire packet. A digi will have 
less usable coverage from a site than a voice service at that site.

 From what I've observed, vk2rdo-3 has very respectable coverage.

It just dawned on me, I was watching vk2boz-9 mobile over the Easter 
weekend and after he left the Macleay Valley and vk2rmc-1, aprs.fi 
reported him via vk2rdo-3.
