The Digi sysop. And it is sent by the digi. That has been
fundamental to the New-N Paradigm since 2004. Every digi beacon is
supposed to begin with the recommended number of WIDEn-N hops and the
local ARRL regional path. FOr example:
W2, ALn-N. stuff....
Means 2 hops using WIDEn-N and that he ARRL section path is ALn-N
(presumably alabama). That syntax was standardized and should be in
every digi.
If your digi is not doing this, then it is more than half-a-decade out
of date. See:
