As discussed on the debian-hams list, I am packaging xastir. Xastir is an X client for APRS, the Automatic Position Reporting System.
In APRS, objects (houses, cars, people or whatever) report their position on the air. (Usually their position is obtained using GPS for mobile objects, or entered by hand for fixed objects.) Xastir collects the information off the air and displays it on top of a map. Section: hamradio. License: GPL. Uses LessTif. More ITPs of ham stuff to follow.
