[OZAPRS] bethungra-ginini

[Glen English VK1XX]

Hi Graeme

fine business.

Happy for Ginini to do what it does best- sees everyone, does the
regional heavy lifting. Otherwise all the $$$$$$ paid to Air Services
each year is worthless...The tower space though is tight.

Ginini changes today- revert Vk1RHR exclusion, exclude VK1RBM-1 (until
dupes issues sorted) , also set FIXBITS=2 (was =1), improves data
demodulator  another dB....

all via my 3.5 kbps SSH link. yes 3.5 kilo bps half duplex.  I don't
have an antenna specific to the link band right now so I have to work
with the signal I've got until the link moves to Isaacs Ridge (line of
site to ginini with internet) ...
