<DIV> By all means you may forward my APRS Beginner Guide (below) to any *user-in-need". That's what it's for. However, L.A. is one of those special areas that needs local mentoring.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> There's WAY to much old info on the web that people won't update or remove - even if you ask them to - I've tried sending something the author could simply paste into a web page (not APRS) and was explicitly refused (As in... Thanks, but I'll leave it like it is) .! go figure.</DIV>
<DIV> It would be nice to have a similar Digi Operator Guide. I am ignorant on DIgi operation.</DIV>

<DIV>> What does that guy's path mean?<BR></DIV>
<DIV> (I think I can hear him without a radio) It means he reads really high on the ignorance meter. If you send him a friendly note and he doesn't fix it, then he reads really high on the stupidity meter.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Perhaps *MANY* such friendly notes will sink-in...?</DIV>

<DIV>Looks like he still needs coaching.<BR>--<BR>73, Steve, K9DCI USN (Vet) MOT (Ret) Ham (Yet)<BR>--</DIV></td></tr></table><br>
