Also note that on the Tier 2 level, we have a few regional DNS  
addresses that may get you a greater variety of servers in your area.   
These are addresses like noam.arps2.net (North America),  
euro.aprs2.net (Europe), and aunz.aprs2.net (Oceania).  Note that rotate.aprs2.net 
  will only get you 12 out of the approximately 50 servers in the  
network.  noam.aprs2.net gets you 17 servers that are in North  
America.  Check out http://www.aprs2.net/#regional for more information.
