    Sorry I've been so quiet, but I got a new piece of APRS tech that I'm currently beta testing and it will change how we can do APRS off-road. I will be posting an article about it soon.

    What is it, opg4759?

    Dec 13, 2011

  • opg4759

    It's a secret project right now, I'm just teasing it. 

    I hope to have something posted about it by end of the year.

    This is a cool APRS link to follow. K6RPT-11 is a ballon that was launched in SoCal on the 11th and is currently just about to pass Gibraltar.

    thanks Steve, would have never seen it on blue room

    Mar 26, 2012

  • manoweb

    But, do they engrave the callsign?

    Mar 26, 2012

  • opg4759

    Doubt it. I would check with the OP on the Blue Room. This isn't a NorCalFJ sponsored product

  • Estysalinas

    Thanks for the heads up Steve...i also would have totally missed it!

  • opg4759

    It's not forbidden it's just we have nothing to do with this and you need to go to the source to ask questions.

    Brushing away the tumbleweeds it's been really quiet over here. I'm working on some plans to incorporate some radio training with off-roading next year.

    Any chance of updating the "Ham Operators List?" There are only two names on there.

  • opg4759

    Damn your pushy, I show up out of the blue after months of being offline and you expect me to do something.

    That is one of my goals, I'm going to build a new google docs form that people can update and I will then update the list there.

    Keeno.. Let me know if I can help.

    Check out LandOps.com...anyone here interested in doing something like this? Watch the Land Ops Episode 1 video. It would be good coms practice and a lot of fun. It could also promote ham radio in the group so they could participate in roles of the exercises where frs and cb don't have enough range.
