I've got facilities for burning the eproms, too. I've got a number of
blanks, mostly pulled from old motherboards, and I'll be happy to burn chips
for the first 8 or 10 people who send a SASE.
Also, I was at Radio Shack yesterday and found 'Now You're Talking' marked
down to 97 cents. I suppose it's going to be obsolete at the end of the
month, but I picked up a copy for a coworker anyway. Hopefully he'll be
taking the technician exam in a couple of weeks.
Anyone know if there's anything major changing in the test? I haven't seen
any news about it.

The question pool will be expanding to 509 possible questions in July. It
is currently in the 350 range as I recall. It will remain the same
35-question multiple-choice test, there is just a greater pool from which
those questions may come.
I think a few of the older questions have been dropped, and some packet
questions added/updated.

Thanks All,
I will give these suggestions a whirl. I have an Andromeda Research
Programmer. But may still need help.

Posted today, WaypointXL v0.5.09.
ftp://ftp.tapr.org/aprssig/winstuff/aprsplus/WaypointXL0509.exe
WaypointXL is a program to work with waypoints, routes, tracks and proximity
waypoints in Garmin GPS receivers. WaypointXL can move Waypoints and Tracks
into Microsoft Excel, and import Waypoints from Excel. The advantage of
using Excel to import waypoints, is that you can load data in a number of
different formats, such as HTML lists of waypoints, XML, or comma delimited
text files. To import data, start Excel from WaypointXL using the XL menu,
and XL_Init menu. Create or load a worksheet with the name of Waypoints.
The first row should have columns named NAME, LATITUDE, LONGITUDE. Optional
other columns include DESCRIPTION, ALTITUDE, PROXIMITY, and ICON. Latitude
and Longitude can be in Decimal Degrees, Degrees/Decimal Minutes, or
Degrees/Minutes/Decimal Seconds. Any kind of "decorator" characters and
white space can be used to separate Degrees/Minutes/Seconds except the
period, "." which is used to delimit the fractional portion of all numbers.
Data can not be in the NMEA format of DDMM.mmm. Currently only the WGS84
Datum is supported for imported data.
WaypointXL has its own internal grid to editing waypoints, routes, tracks,
and proximity waypoints. It can also export data to the "old", Street Atlas
USA v4 to v9. The SA files written by WaypointXL can be imported in to
SA2003 if desired, just not automatically.
WaypointXL also can write Waypoints to an ESRI point Shapefile, and Tracks
to a line Shapefile.
WaypointXL v0.5.09 updates WaypointXL to support OfficeXP.
Icons are supported, but more is needed to complete Icon support, such as
adding visual display of Icons and easier icon selection.
Feedback appreciated, but I make no promises that WaypointXL development
will continue.

Subject: Where do I start?

I am new to APRS, and I am not sure just where to start. I have downloaded
what I presume is the "latest" version of WinAPRS 272, I have an AEA PK88
TNC available; a computer running Weather Display which outputs WXAPRS
data, and a 2-meter transceiver with appropriate antenna. Currently the wx
data is being relayed into APRS through the internet and Citizens Weather
system. I would like to establish a radio link as well. Where should I
begin?
