The recommendation has never changed in the last decade.

NEVER-EVER USED WIDE1-1 !!!!  There is no DUPE suppression in
APRS for WIDE1-1!.

For BALLOONS, the recommendation is to use a payload with
variable paths and rates at altitude and on the ground * OR * if
a less-smart payload is used, use WIDE2-2 and no more often than
1 minute.  This is not as bad as it sounds.  Every digi will
ONLY DIGIPEAT IT ONCE (not twice or more) because the New-N
paradigm eliminates dupes.  And having a new "vehicle" appear in
every digi area for a 3 hour mission special event, is no worse
than another driver driving though the area.

If a DIGI is causing dupes, FIX THE DIGI!  Update to the 2004
New-N Paradigm!!!

For Aircraft, the PATH is WIDE2-1.  There is no reason to need 2
hops on the ground.  The plane should not be lost...

NEVER USE WIDE1-1 on any airborne mobile.
