[OZAPRS] Is VK2VK-5 the only I-Gate in the Sydney region?

[Darryl Smith]

Hi People

This is worth a re-post. John Akermann, n8ur, and former TAPR president
has published information on deviation and tones. It is available on

	http://www.febo.com/packet/layer-one/transmit.html

John is quite knowledgeable on the area and his insight valuable.
