I would want them to be transmitted over RF. What would be the
format if I wanted to use a text editor to set them up, with about
10 to do that would take much less time than one at a time inside
of Xastir.
Set up ONE in Xastir first, making sure that Compressed Objects is
turned off (Configure->Defaults). Look at the format in
~/.xastir/config/object.log
Copy that string to a text file and add
"WE7U>APRS:"
or similar to the beginning of the packet.
For instance:
From config.log file:
ICP *073209h4806.63N/12145.56Wc
Add header:
WE7U>APRS:;ICP *073209h4806.63N/12145.56Wc
The number of spaces is important.
I don't recall off-hand whether Xastir will adopt them and start
transmitting them if you suck them in from a log file. Worth a
quick test.
If not, you can add them to your object.log file by hand and
kill/restart Xastir, or else Station->Configure->Reload Object/Item
History. Again worth some tests to make sure it transmits.
