Well if some don't know my new career has me on the road 90% of the time. but in my travels so far Boston has given me the bad taste of APRS coverage. They purposely have the digis cover designated areas which has no overlapping of RF coverage in any way. Confused, we all know the Town Center digi has the most coverage besides the POX and UFD-5 systems. The ones of there cover the areas they are in and that is it, almost like a degree pattern or set spots to cover, weird. Other than that APRS is not so popular thing and D-STAR is growing rapid and all repeaters in the New England are on the New England gateway covering all areas here pretty much.
