It already is a standard across the country (for Telco's), and IMHO, better
then the FAA system I was using years ago for the same purpose of naming
digipeaters. So thanks for turning me on to it.

Coordination? Naw, I'd call it pocket's of common sense. Reason your not
getting any conscience is because this is ham radio and way too many folks
don't take it seriously and instead think it is some sort of popularity
contest. Likely the same reason the APRS spec is so FUBAR'ed and continues to
get worse... but I digress.

And that is the key to point people to the right sites to document them.
I'll seriously think of using it in the future and thank you for the
reference.

Well the 11th annual APRS Eyeball/Pizza Bash has been scheduled for May
15th from 6pm - 11pm... Hopefully we will be in the same room that we
have been in years past. I requested the room to the right as soon as
you walk in. And again like years past it will be at Marion's Piazza...
I will have handouts available at the APRS booths (223 & 224), so we
look to see you there. Things that I'm trying to iron out at this minute
is a sound system, I don't think it will be like last years. But it
won't be a Bullhorn either..lol ....... Sorry for the delay, been in the
process of upgrading my license, I test this coming tuesday... So with
any luck I will be a general by the time Dayton comes up....

Hello,
As the list owner I would like you to notify the group that list member
K2ADJ / AFA1NC Rodney G. Fowler passed away peacefully Thursday, April 29th
around 6:30pm at the Albert Einstien Hospital in Northeast Philadelphia.
His three sons and two grand daughters were by his side. I want you to know
that my father considered you all on the list friends and appreciated the
interaction and good will exchanged via this list. For those on the list who
will not have the opportunity to view the Burlington County Times Newspaper
on Sunday and Monday, I have inserted my father's obituary below. Know that
he will miss you all very much and I'm sure you, he. Be well.
Best Regards,
Larry Fowler
(Rod's Oldest Son)
Glens Falls, NY
lwfowler@nycap.rr.com
Rodney George Fowler, 73 years old of 341 Lincoln Ave, Edgewater Park, NJ
passed away peacefully Thursday, April 29th, 2004 under the merciful care of
the Albert Einstein Medical Center in Northeast Philadelphia after an
extended illness.
Rodney was born in Hartford, Connecticut on June 27,1930 and spent
his youth in Plymouth, Massachusetts. He then served the United States Air
Force from 1950 to 1954 attaining the rank of Staff Sargent. His assignments
included the 6543rd Missile Test Squadron, 6541st Missile Test Wing located
at Grand Bahama Aux AFB, Grand Bahama Islands, the 6541st Missile Test Wing
at Patrick AFB, Florida and then the 6550th Communications Squadron also at
Patrick AFB, Florida where he assumed the duty of Airborne Electronics and
Navigation Equipment Maintenance Technician flying on board B-29 aircraft
which conducted surveillance missions on behalf of the United States
Government during the Korean conflict.
After leaving the Air Force, Mr. Fowler married Carol Manchester of
Bourne, Massachusetts in 1956. Together they had four sons, Lawrence White,
David Alan, Thomas John and Robert George. Carol, his wife in 45 years of
marriage, passed away in October of 1999. His son, Thomas John at 19 years
old, passed in 1981. Mr. Fowler was a graduate of the Lowell Technical
Institute, Lowell, Massachusetts. Rod made his living as an electronics
field service technician working for Raytheon, Nuclear Chicago, G.D. Searle,
Tracor and finally TM Analytic from which he received an award upon
retirement in recognition of his 25 plus years of service with their
company.
Mr. Fowler was very active in the Amateur Radio hobby throughout his
adult life. He held the amateur radio communication station licenses W1SSU,
WB2WXK and K2ADJ. He was a member of the Radio Amateur Communications
Emergency Service (RACES) as well as the Amateur Radio Relay League
(A.R.R.L.).
Mr. Fowler was also a proud member of the United States Air Force
Military Affiliated Radio System (USAF MARS) program to which he donated
much of his time and radio station equipment to facilitate the transfer of
morale messages from our servicemen and women stationed overseas back to
their family members here in the United States. At one point during
Operation Desert Storm, Mr. Fowler's USAF MARS radio station, AFA1NC, was
handling over 3000 of these morale messages per week. His station would
receive these data (packet) radio messages from Germany (via Saudi Arabia)
and then distribute them to other like stations throughout the United
States.
During his long involved tenure with USAF MARS, Mr. Fowler held the
titles: Transcon Net Manager (Radio Teletype message format) and National
Packet Coordinator (computer data packet message format), as well as the New
Jersey State Assistant USAF MARS director. He was also influential in
getting the packet mode (computer data transferred via radio wave) accepted
and implemented as a viable mode of communication by the USAF MARS
organization. Mr. Fowler received many recognition awards from USAF MARS for
his dedicated work and volunteered service. Rod Fowler believed very
strongly in service to country. He demonstrated that ethic by volunteering
his service to the many organizations that serve the public using various
modes of radio communication during times of emergency and war.
Rodney G. Fowler is survived by his son Lawrence and wife Kathleen
Fowler of Glens Falls, N.Y. His son David Fowler and fianc ancy DiCamillo of
Blackwood, N.J. His son Robert Fowler of Edgewater Park, NJ. His
granddaughters Angela and husband Mathew Still of Mount Laurel, N.J. Andrea
Fowler and her fianc tephan Webster of Mt. Laurel, N.J. Jennifer and her
husband Kurt Stolzenberger of Mt. Laurel, N.J. His great grandchildren
Jovanni Still, Saleen Webster and Tyler Stolzenberger all of Mt. Laurel,
N.J. His sister Audery and husband Robert Santheson of Plymouth,
Massachusetts. His sister-in-law, Janet Brooks, niece Joyce Cannon and
nephew Edward Cannon all of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. His loyal canine Corky.
His many friends throughout the Amateur Radio hobby and perhaps most
importantly to him, his "extended family" at the Golden Dawn Diner who
always made him feel appreciated, loved and at home. May God bless you all
and keep you well.
The viewing service for Rodney G. Fowler will take place Wednesday, May 5th
9:30 am at the McGee Funeral Home, 869 Beverly Road, Burlington, N.J. This
will be followed by the committal service at 11:30am at his place of burial,
The Brigadier General William C. Doyle Veterans Memorial Cemetery, 350
Provinceline Road, Arneytown, N.J.
