At 300mW I don't think the Horus guys are going to have a problem getting in to either a Digi or an IGate<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Apr 11, 2012 at 2:25 PM, Mark Jessop <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:lenniethelemming@gmail.com">lenniethelemming@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

300mW. We've always flown WIDE2-1 in the past, with success. <br>
We've often been able to get into an igate via VK5RSC during the
final stages of descent, so I don't think we'll have a problem.<br>

a very very wide area. You have to remember that they'll have line
of sight to quite a large geographical area once the payload is in
the air, and any path other than a WIDE2-1 could very easily flood
the network.<br>
<br>
Mark/Grant how much power are you running on the APRS payload?<br>

WIDE2-1 wont guarantee a path into an Igate for you. Try
WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1 which is 2 hops via a fillin digi if needed.
This is particularly relavant when your working from the East
VK5/3 border and into 5RMB 5BRC . Although 5RLD has been a
bigger help in the past over there.<br>
<br>
Hope it all works out. I will probably be in Renmark so might
listen in to it all.<br>

VK5ARG-11 will also fly on APRS on 145.175 - beaconing to
WIDE2-1 (so that it makes it into an I-Gate)<br>
