[OZAPRS] Hf gates CD

[Glen English VK1XX]

tracker might well have CD but:

1) Consider that in the mobile, you wont hear any stations less than the 
skip distance (unless they are 10km away) . The daytime skip distance 
might be 700km.... so anyone inside that distance you wont hear  cause 
the ionosphere wont support it..it wont support any angles higher than 
perhaps 45 degrees.

The base station though will hear lots of transmissions from lots of 
stations >700km  to 1500km away, so there would be significant collision 
chance if the position update is too often. Maybe 10 minutes might be 
suitable. I dunno why people run..

2) With a 5%  to 10%  efficiency mobile you wont hear too much unless 
the propagation is optimal...
