Re: APRS - spy on me while I drive

I saw some packets tonight from VK6HGR in the northern suburbs go via VK...

Re: APRS - spy on me while I drive

Worked north almost to Williams and SE almost out to Gnowangerup.

I'm guessing south it will almost reach to Mt Barker.

Also the digipeater has been heard this evening by VK6KSB-3 at Pinjarra and VK6RVP-1 at Vic Park.

Next we need to improve the antennas!

It was moved from K-town about a month ago and has been in transit back to Perth.

Bunbury VK6RBY 70cm 438.650Mhz is S2.
Edit: The Bunbury 2M repeater is also there.
VK6WG in Albany worked 2 x VK5's on 2M SSB this evening.

My antennas are still down, but will be back in the air soon!
