Thing is that the smaller Red Cross chapters rely on amateurs to provide
communications totally. Yes even for them numbers initially should be
sufficient untill names could be delivered in another manner.--73

What with the proliferation of digipeating and RF Bridging on 20 meters, it
is often difficult to know on what band a particular transmission
originated. It makes things like propagation paths difficult to analyze.
There is hope.
Here is a 100% APRS-compatible solution.
Place a 2-byte "band designation" in your Destination Field. Doing this
will allow users to automatically "filter" what is displayed (as an
ALTNET), by band of interest. Don't want to filter? Turn "ALTNET" off.
Easy, huh?
Examples below:
W2EV>VK,GATE,ECHO:.....
^^
In the case above, V=VHF, K=140-150 MHz.
W2EV>HK,...
^^
20-m: H=HF, K=14-15 MHz
W2EV>HY,...
^^
10m: H=HF, Y=28 MHz
W2EV>HG,...
^^
30m: H=HF, G=10-11 MHz
The full chart for a much more broad spectrum of RF is shown below. Please
consider doing this. If enough people do, I'll share other hints that can
further enhance HF APRS operation.

That was supposed to be what the "runner" or "jogger" symbol is for. It
is also for "hiker".. We made sure it was one of the 16 supported by the
Kenwoods too...

Problem is, that ALTNET is exclusive. That is, if you set to an ALTNET of
"HK" then the only thing you will receive is other "HK" stations and no
others. ALTNET is not a "display" option, but an exclusive filter option.
But if you put APHK as an "ALTNET" then, because it begins with the
standard "AP", everyone will reveive it because it is in the general APRS
network category and then you can "select" to display or sort by the next
two bytes which will let you then see only the "APHK" stations for
example...

OK, I revamped the site from yesterday and added a calendar.
wes.johnston.net/aprs
It supports:
1) Reoccurring events
2) filtering of events (only see server downtime if that's all you
interested in)
3) text list and regular calendar grid format.
4) searchable
5) It can send email reminders to you for events (don't wanna forget dayton!)
Any fields that are missing, let me know.

Anyone wishing to include the aprs events calendar in thier home page may
do so with this link...
http://aprs.optic-solutions.com/cgi-bin/calendar/calendar.cgi?fromTemplate=logih
n.tml&template=default.html&view=Four-Week&command=login&username=radio&passworr
d=adio
For example, you could include it in an iframe.....
<iframe name="mapI" ID="mapI" width=100% height=85%
src="http://aprs.optic-solutions.com/cgi-bin/calendar/calendar.cgi?fromTemplateo
=lgin.html&template=default.html&view=Four-Week&command=login&username=radio&paw
ssord=radio" frameborder=0 marginheight=0 marginwidth=0 scrolling="yes">
In this way, everyone's aprs calendar would pull from the same source.
Maybe someone has a domain which is easier to remember than mine?
