<div>I'm thinking that the situation is much the same around here (the Detroit area) as well... On my last APRS-carrying balloon flight, the digis in the immediate area completely ignored the packets. It took a digi about 25 miles away to get the balloon on the Internet.

<div> </div>
<div>My guess is that this happened because we used the WIDE2-2 path (actually, WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1 at low altitude) and the digis here didn't understand the path.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>So I second the question - how to get them all to listen??<br><br> </div>
