[aprssig] 6 meter APRS (a new wild-west RF domain)

[Michael Wolthuis]

Bob,
6M APRS sounds like fun.  I grabbed my 6M FM rig, a KPC3+ and a javAPRS
Igate to get setup in Michigan tonight hopefully.  I want to see what all I
can hear on 6M.

What is the path information for sending out on 6M?  Ie. Are we using
WIDEn-n designations or simple path of WIDE, etc?

Should TNCs on 6M be setup for digi at all?  If so, any recommended settings
for UIDIGI, UITRACE, etc?
