[aprssig] IGATE at Home

[Fred Atkinson, WB4AEJ]

No,

    Digipeating from my location wouldn't be adviseable.  I'm down in a
nook.

    We have a site for a digipeater on a mountain just a short way from me.
I'll be able to receive it fine.  And I'll relay it to the Internet.

    73,



Fred, WB4AEJ
