I think the recommendation is that end users like us should try to use the
second-tier servers instead of the primary four.

Since Steve is in New Mexico, it might be most convenient to use the nearest
secondary server, which is the one I mentioned: arizona.aprs2.net, located
in Yuma, AZ.  Before I started using that one, I was using socal.aprs2.net.

Details on port availability, as with most javAPRSSvr-based servers, can be 
found on port 14501 with a web browser.

HTH,
