[aprssig] RE: New EU Paradigm

[Andrzej AB9FX]

I would opt for US standards in EU, i.e. WIDEn-n, SSn-n and just WIDE1-1 for 
fill up digis. Main reason is to keep some standards for all kinds of APRS 
software and hardware. With such universal standards is much more clear how 
to setup station.
In Poland we use WIDEn-n (traceable), SPn-n and still RELAY because of 
compatibility with neighbor countries, but we are ready to switch RELAY to 
WIDE1-1 any time.
73!
