[aprssig] New-N Paradigm Works!

[Richard Montgomery]

Stan is correct on stations in TX and OK not setup correctly. I get 
stations and digi's from those areas all the time running WIDE5 and 
greater paths. We also get lots of IN and KY stations running WIDE4 or 
greater. I have seen a few Dayton bound travelers this week with RELAY 
and other outdated paths also.

The best email response I got was a digi owner in TX. He said he was 
running his digi unproto path of WIDE5-5 so his mobile stations would 
get out better. Oh well..  I sent a reply back trying to explain but 
never got a response back.

Like Stan, I also keep lots of logs online. I have nearly a years worth 
so far. Just follow these links below. This is from my home station, 
running a j-pole on the corner of my house. I can usually hear 3 local 
digi's direct 95% of the time, so its a fairly good indicator of how 
much traffic is flowing through this area (West TN, approx halfway 
between Memphis and Nashville).

Hope this helps,
