using WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1

Yesterday, we took a roadtrip in Land Barge II to Sugar Hill, NH. Our route was I-84 to Hartford, I-91 to Wells River, VT, Route 302 to Lisbon, NH, and Route 117 to Sugar Hill and our destination Polly's Pancake Parlor.

The TH-D7(G) indicated that its APRS packets were being digipeated throughout the roundtrip, but when I arrived home and checked the APRS track on the Internet, it showed a gap between Greenfield, MA, and Brattleboro, VT, and a complete lack of Internet coverage north of Claremont, NH (see map).

The path in the D7 was WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1. I will reset the path to WIDE1-1,WIDE2-2 and see if that improves matters.

Surfing and the British Invasion sparked my interest in rock 'n' roll. So, I note the passing of one of the early invaders from Britain, Freddie Garrity.

I spent a lot of time cleaning up the Surfin' Index... fixing HTML code, fixing errors, adding entries that slipped through the cracks, etc. If you notice anything wrong, please let me know so I can fix the problem.
