It's not that tough (in North America at least).

Mobiles and portables use a path of WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1 but do no digipeating
themselves.

Digis and IGates enable their success.

Fill-in digis (as needed)
 traceably operate packets addressed via WIDE1-1

High-elevation full-service "S-overlay" digis
 traceably operate packets addressed via WIDE1-1 or WIDE2-1 or WIDE2-2 or
"SSn-N".

IGates let us show off our VHF work to our poor friends and family who only
have the web.
It works!
