[aprssig] WIDEn-N question

[Alan P. Biddle]

Hi,

I got a question from somebody who is a network guru and has just discovered
ham radio and APRS.  He asked me a question in a slightly different format,
but it amounts to this.  A normal path is typically WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1 for a
metropolitan area.  His question was whether there was any difference if you
used WIDE1-1,WIDE3-1, or WIDE1-1,WIDE4-1, etc.  I can see practical issues
depending on how the digis are configured, but is there any difference in
principle?
