[aprssig] RE: New EU Paradigm

[Cap Pennell]

But if you simply gave up the old RELAY (like North Americans have) you
could as easily travel to other continents too.  Then it's easier and no
problem (and fewer dupe packets possibly colliding and reducing throughput).
Some in Europe have already given up the RELAY (and TRACEn-N).
