Ok thank you Bob I will ad that into my presentation for the Ham Com! If any
of you are interested and are in Colorado for the weekend of the May 31st I
will be giving the "Ins and outs of APRS' from 3-4 please feel free to stop
by and talk after (or before) the seminar. I will have a demo of Findu as
well as the D7 for tracking and Etc.
Thanks

I received the following via my local Igate at 05:28:08z:-
}PCSAT>APRS,TCPIP,MB7UAA*::AC7II-11 :%[54]
At that time the satellite was near Antarctica and I'm not aware of any
Igates down there. I've seen these packets before and always when the
satellite is in that region.
To satisfy my curiosity, who is putting the packets onto the Internet
and what is the information?

Hi Ken,
The "data" is the Kenwood's Speech module's command to speak
the word "Low".. I would assume AC7II-11 is whom the message
was sent to by someone.
Interesting, 73

Robbie,
Many thanks for that information. I guessed it was an APRS message to
AC7II-11 but the data had me baffled.
For interest, here is one from the next pass:-
2003-May-05 07:13:37 (UTC)
08:13:36R PCSAT>APRS,TCPIP,MB7UAA* Port=1 <UI C Len=43>:
:AC7II-11 :%[53]
Again the footprint was over a large area of nothingness.

Hi All-
Bad day in the Mid-west yesterday. 26 known dead at this writing and
some still missing. There is a log file of the WXSVR starting about 4
am Central Time Sunday May 4th until about 24 hours later available at:
http://wxsvr.net/tmp/0504outbrk.txt
This file can be loaded as a log file into a lot of the APRS clients as
is. Just "Save Page as" or something like that from the file tab in your
browser.
And the xastir snapshot of the logfile at:
http://wxsvr.net/tmp/outbreak.png
The counties are not lit up (it would be almost every county in some
states!)

Hi,
I have had fairly good luck in keeping the RF out of the Autopilot by
shielding the ground lead from the Autotuner to it's connection to the boat's
ground. Never ground this shield! Let it float. The theory is that the
autotuner basicly acts like a matching circuit to a dipole. Most sailboats
use an insulated backstay, power boats use a whip. What you are trying to do
is keep the radiated energy that surrounds the ground wire from interferring
with the Flux-Gate compass in the autopilot. Obviously this also depends on
how close the ground wire is to the compass.
On my boat the AT180 is mounted to the underside of the aft deck with a short
lead to the antenna. I use Number 08 marine stranded cable that is
approximately 7 ft long that runs to a Dynaplate ground. I pulled a braided
shield over the cable about 1 inch short on both ends. The autopilot is
mounted on a level shelf that is fiberglassed to the hull roughly 6 inches
above the water line. The ground wire from the autotuner runs 12 feet away.
I have had no interference between the two over a range of 5 to 18 mHz.
Occasionally when working a 4 mHz marine freq I will experence some deviation
from the set course.

Those are Satellite alert packets generated by APRSdata. That one will
cause AC7II-11's D700 radio to speak using the voice module and say "PCSAT
High". To alert him that PCSAT is in view and that it is "high" above the
horizon. (maybe its "low", I'd have to look up "54" in the D700 manual to
be sure)...
APRSdata will send to D700 users in the area these voice alerts if people
request them. To automatically request such a voice alert, the mobile
station simply sets his D700 position comment to CUSTOM 1. THen if any
APRSdata servers hear him, he will get the automatic voice alert.
But you dont have to have the voice module to be alerted to satelites in
view. APRSdata also sends out a one every 10 minute packet to people in
its area that contains a schedule for the times of all satellites that
will come in view in the next 80 minutes. Your D7 or D700 will capture
these to your DX-LIST so that they are alaways available to you without
cluttering up your message list.
And finally, when ever a satellite is actually in view and above your
horizon, APRS will send out a local OBJECT in your area that will show the
azimuth and distance to the satelite and will show you the uplink and
downlink freqquency. THus with no advaance knowledge, and by simply
having your APRS in the car monitoring the APRS channel, you will be
alerted to any satellites that you can hit with your mobile...

Unfortuantely it looks like whoever is running the APRSdata engine in
your area has either his clock or date in his PC off. THus the wrong
predictions...
