<div id="yiv2035453648"><div dir="ltr">Hi All,<div><br></div><div>I've been following the list for several months now trying to get a feel for the aprs community. For the most part it has been enjoyable and I want to thank all of you that contribute to the list. While I still have a lot of learning to do concerning aprs (and amateur radio in general) this list has been extremely helpful to me.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I have been considering building a digipeater/Igate at my QTH, but after doing a little research on <a href="http://aprs.fi/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">aprs.fi</a>, and listening on the air, I have discovered that there is another digi 7.2mi from here. It has an antenna that is higher than I would be able to put up for this. So my question is, would I be contributing anything useful by building another digi so close, or would I just be cluttering up the frequency?</div>
