Actually, it isnt.  In fact, in the USA we want to see
the local digi, show that it is up and running once
every 10 minutes.  That is the established "net cycle
time" for LOCAL DIRECT operations for APRS.  And
the load of 1 packet every 10 minutes direct from
the local digi (the most important asset in the area)
is less than 0.0016 of channel capacity.

Is good nice to know informatin for someone just
turning on their radio or just driving into the area.
