Not able to get much of that happening here. The only server station has been wb5con so far. I pick up some other calls but not sure what they are doing. Just saw kd4qcl and seconds later saw kd5umw de kd5wdq. Maybe calling each other on the same frequency?
I am hoping that as I use it more, and we have an increasing number of active servers, this system could become very practical by having one program that can help with multiple needs. As I have said before, having one program that can do what otherwise would require many different programs, would make this a very useful digital system. 73, Rick, KV9U Rein Couperus wrote: > > The latest version 0.3.3 ca already do a lot more... > > This is from the wiki: > Send APRS Posit > Send APRS message > Send APRS email > Send ping > Send Link packet to server > Receive APRS message > Receive short email on APRS > Receive weather (or other) bulletins automatically and store them. > Set APRS Icon > Set APRS Beacon Period (10, 30, 60 mins) > Set APRS status message > GPS connection (RS232 and USB) > > ARQ terminal mode: > Get your mail from ISP (e.g. gmail) > Send mail via ISP > List, download and read files on the server (tell the sysop what you need) > Telnet to any computer on the internet, e.g. your packet mailbox > Get special info depending on your location from the web like: > - tide information > - List of APRS stations > - List of messages on findu > - For RV'ers a list of parking lots in a radius of 5 Miles from your location > (EU only) > - The latest wx bulletin > - Grib files for zyGrib > - Latest IAC fleetcode file for zyGrib > > etc, etc, etc... as PKSmail is a free decentralized system the sysops > determine > what info is available on the servers.
