[aprssig] Functional path to hit both WIDE and WIDEn-n digis?

[Robert Rochte]

I'm thinking that the situation is much the same around here (the Detroit
area) as well...  On my last APRS-carrying balloon flight, the digis in the
immediate area completely ignored the packets.  It took a digi about 25
miles away to get the balloon on the Internet.

My guess is that this happened because we used the WIDE2-2 path (actually,
WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1 at low altitude) and the digis here didn't understand the
path.

So I second the question - how to get them all to listen??
