[OZAPRS] PS-61 APRS/Olivia PICO balloon MEL-SYD-BNE

[Ian Bennett]

Reported from aprs.fi:


Last path: VK3YT-12>APZ269 via WIDE2-1,qAS,VK3VHF-1 <http://aprs.fi/info/VK3VHF-1> (seriously-bad)
This station appears to be flying at high altitude and using digipeaters, which causes serious
congestion in the APRS network. The tracker should be configured to only use digipeaters when at low
altitude.

You might want to revisit your path settings ???
