[OZAPRS] Fw: RGI/RBM/Griffith digis

[Graeme]

I had hoped that my igate would provide some direct coverage from the west, 
north and east of me but to date it has only heard a few direct messages 
from south of Temora and near Gundagai.  This week a 4 dBi 3/4 wl antenna 
will replace the less than unity gain trial one attempting to improve 
coverage.  If coverage warrants then early next year a fill-in digi will be 
added.

When driving the Burley Griffin Way I can reach VK2RGF until on the
stretch of road between Ardlethan and (the turnoff to) Ariah Park.
When I get to Stockinbingal I can reach RGI (with cunning triggering of
the beacon at the best spots).
There is no other APRS cover of that region. Graeme mentioned that
Wagga club has considered APRS on Mt Bethungra, but that's been in the
pipeline for a long period.

This should give you some idea of a trip with no coverage from VK1RGI

provided you look before Tuesday.
