[aprssig] Recommended Message Packet Length (PacLen) through satellites?

[Alan]

All true of course.  I was wondering if there were any quantitative recommendations.

<As Lynn says the shorter the better. Use compressed for the location part.
<A lot of people are trying to use the same channel at the same time, when a

<Generally the entire pass is taken up with connect retries, it being

<Shorter is always better when it comes to APRS packets.  And when doing
<APRS satellites, shorter gives you a much better chance to get through.
<"Hi" has a better chance than "Hello" which is still better than
<"Greetings fellow Earthing...".
