This sound similar to something I threw out there way back in, ooh 2006 <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/tracker2/message/698> The details were different, but the goal was similar: wait a _short_ while & digipeat when no-one else had digipeated the packet. It's also sounds similar to this: <http://wiki.ham.fi/Viscous_APRS_Digipeater> ( Linked from <http://wiki.ham.fi/Aprx.en> ) 15 sec would be a bit long - 5 sec would be plenty, even 3 is likely to fit in a number of cases I'd be interested... 73s, Ian ZL1VFO
