That sounds familiar. We ended up changing our repeater beacon to be a
third party object because the obvious ITEM didn't work.
It's possible that Bob told me that ITEM is being obsoleted during that
discussion, but I'm not sure...

Subject: [aprssig] LORAN evolution seeks comments
LORAN continues to evolve - take a look at http://www.loran.org. And
check this out:
--- Forwarded message:---
The U.S. Federal Register comment period ends February 7, 2007. Don't put
it off! The ILA is submitting a variety of materials, with the help of some
Board members, but we still need for every ILA member to submit.
Just a one-paragraph note is all that's needed, clearly stating your
position on the issue of completing eLoran and continuing the Loran service
as a partner with GPS to protect the Critical Infrastructure.
The submission process is easy;
- go to http://dms.dot.gov
- hit "simple search"
- enter docket number 24685 and hit "search"
- hit "submit" and follow the dots.

>I'm playing with this...[object for a local net]...
>What symbol... do you recommend...
The "EYEBALL" symbol was designed for this kind of eye-catching special
purpose. It is supposed to be a large attention getting SYMBOL to indicate
something that was worthy of immediate attention. A real EYE catcher. In
the original APRS, this symbol was about 4 times larger than all other
symbols to make sure it was easy to spot.
For follow-on APRS systems that use fixed sized ICONs instead of symbols,
I'm not sure how well it stands out. Maybe we need a better symbol more
appropriate for NETS. In that case, I think I would suggest the NTS symbol
(even if it is not an NTS net). It is a "/N" symbol.
Thanks. I'll add that to my notes.
