[aprssig] Open Tracker at Lake Mead

[Cap Pennell]

WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1 might work better than plain WIDE2-2 for your mobile
station, especially in remote areas.  Both are reasonable two hop digipaths,
but only WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1 can take advantage of any "fill-in" digis in the
neighborhood to help get your packets into the VHF network.
