What's a hard coded super short packet we can easily use now?  Something like:

WA7NWP>AP6MTR:>CN87ab

Following on what the propnet folks came up with, it might me useful
to invest the extra 7 bytes and include a one hop path.  There's a lot
to be said for a "digipeat" to catch a packet that might otherwise be
lost.

WA7NWP>AP6MTR,WIDE1-1:>CN87ab

I've never seen 50.63.   53.53 was the old propnet frequency.  50.62
is the national packet freq and what many of the 100 watt rigs were
pre-programmed to.
