[aprssig] Good God! Western Mountain Top Digies Go Vast Distances!

[Germino]

I checked out the image.  What surprised me was seeing the nodes in San
Diego and LA, without a lot of other APRS around them.   Did the nodes have
long paths?  did the APRS stations use short paths?  Was it the 1/2 hour of
monitoring?  Anyway the picture was cool.
