Packet Engine Pro. I’ve been trying to use WIDE1-1, WIDE2-1 as my path, which
is the current recommendation as I understand it. But nothing seems to be
getting through to findu. I see a bunch of stations around me on UI-view and
there is even one that digipeats me, but nobody around me – except some
directly connected weather stations – has made it to findu recently either. It
appears the K5LSU-5 is expected to be the local IGate, but also has not been
heard from all day. The one packet of mine the did make it to findu was sent
during a brief interval this morning when I used WIDE3-3 to see if I could get
anywhere; the IGate was in Port Arthur, TX.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

completely wrong? I know very little about fancy was to look up things in
findu or anywhere else. Thanks a lot.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
