[aprssig] New -N Paradigm Works!

[Cap Pennell]

Right.

One hop in all directions:
WIDE1-1
WIDE2-1

Two hops in all directions:
WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1   (best mobile)
WIDE2-2           (best non-moving)

Three hops in all directions (usually too much for courtesy to other hams,
at least West of the Rockies and in most populated areas farther East in
North America too):
WIDE1-1,WIDE2-2
WIDE3-3  (if the digis will operate it, but luckily many won't anymore)


Local "fill-in" (or "event") digis will ONLY operate WIDE1-1.  The
high-level network digis ("S overlay" character on their map symbol) will
operate WIDE1-1 or WIDE2-1 or WIDE2-2 (and "SSn-N").

RELAY and WIDE and TRACE and TRACEn-N are completely obsolete in North
America at least (and stations using them or digis still allowing their use
are unhelpful to the other users of the VHF network).
