[OZAPRS] experimenting with rural digipeater

[Warren_Brown]

Hi Liz,

I see you have had plenty of good advice.
Just don't forget that the only way the locals hear you beacon is via the
local Digi's

So as a minimum I suggest two Digi hops this will let the locals see you,
(remember the local IGATE will not re-transmit what it hears.)
However for the IGATE to hear you will need enough hops to get your beacon
to come out of either VK1RGI or VK3RAW
Which I assume would need three hops to be "100%" reliable.

Despite the distance VK2RGF often gets into VK3RGR directly,

73,
Warren.
