Hi there,
I'm looking for the raw archives of the the APRSSIG from 2001 until now.
I don't see them on the archive web page, but perhaps they can be ftped
from someplace else?
Thanks a bunch and 73,

Running Xastir on RH 7.3, on a PIII-700, 1024 MB Ram.
Runs real fine, lasts a long time!
The only reason it crashes is because of power fluxuations and I don't have
an UPS.

There is a new feature for the box, click one of the icons on
the right of the screen , it says TOGGLE MAP DISPLAY
This turns on an even better box along the bottom. If you
are using TIGER data, it even includes the street you are on

I have been doing some more work on this and still cannot get

When that started to happen to me, I knew it was time for the tracker to
go. :)

If you are referring to a window labeled TIGER MAP INFO that has
nothing in it, that window shows a list of all of the Tiger counties
that you have on disk. I have updated the distribution to include one
county (Dayton OH area) so that it comes up properly.
If you are referring to anything else, please send me a screen shot.

Love those screen shots!
This is a screen shot using UI-View 1.93. I'm connected to aprswest.net
port 14580 (User Definable). My setup has the ability to speak messages,
which can draw my attention if I'm out of the shack. I also use PMaps 5.0.
which are zoomable down to street level. UI-View is very impressive <g>.

Hasan and Alex
I would like to respond publicly to your comments, yes we have had
some periods of less than stellar support, work and life gets in the
way sometimes and for that we apologize. I cant promise to fix every
bug immediately but we do try and we do try to keep adding new
features.
Sincerely
Mark Sproul

I have questions for the many truck drivers I see using APRS.
I am curious/interested as to what you use APRS for while on the road?????
Do you use APRS to look ahead on your route to see what is ahead of you?
I'd be very interested in hearing your comments! Please email me off line
at jim@wa6oft.com
Thanks!

Yeah, we've used aerial ATV with SAR in the past... I can't think of any
other technology that would get the job done as easily. About ten years
ago, we were up in a Cessna 172 demonstrating the system for a joint SAR/CAP
excercise when we got an actual call. We were able to orbit over the target
area and send video back to the command post. Running 15 watts at 434 MHz
we had a range of something like 40 miles, I think. Sure, it's not the most
efficient use of bandwidth, but it does the job.

I use SSTV with storm spotting. EOC has a receiver.
We've twice been able to send "realtime" pictures of a tornado in progress
to NWS.
I'm getting a board at dayton to overlay my position info from GPS onto the
dash-cam output.
I really wish there was something that would encode this in the SSTV ID
part of the frame, so the pix could be automatically stored with filenames
that indicate where, when and who. Then I could make them into APRS
objects, and....
