Hello Sig,
Thought you would like to know what is heard from 30 meters here on the
west coast of California. This list is taken from the last 8 hours, but is
Representative of conditions here daily. The antenna here is a balum fed
dipole @ 30' favoring North and South propagation. I would love to hear KH6
or KL7 someday.

There has been a PropNET Hub on 147.585 for most of the spring and early
summer on 147.585 Mhz in the Albany NY area. We've seen it in Western NY a
couple of times this year as propagation allowed (that's the idea, by the
way).
Anyway...I'd like to get an idea of it's range. If folks in the area have
a moment to lurk on 147.585 (it TX's every 5 minutes) and give me an idea
of where you are in relationship to it, I'd appreciate it. It uses a
>GR##id-in-comment APRS compatible transmission.
The hope is to see how far North and South in the Mohawk Valley this is
hearable and start laying plans for placing the next hub in that area.
If you want to play a little while you're there, the following unproto's
are supported (along with their APRS equivalents):
HOPn-N = TRACEn-N
SKIPn=N = WIDEn-N NOID
FLOOD = RELAY
Any help is appreciated.

Wayne,
Keep listening later today and at night. You should also hear VP5DB and
J73CS and occasionally KP2G and PJ6DM

Had me scared for a moment there, when I saw my digi in the path! :)
That's rather an impressive path. Perhaps he's trying to make it back to
Neptune?

Yeah, I did some more research he started on HF and a nice HF gateway in
Canada released this to us!!!! And I wonder if anyone in Spain has
trouble getting out when this is skating thru the local network there.
Btw: I seen my digi too...

Dear Sirs:
Can anyone help: my TH-D7 that I use for APRS is set for GPS Unit "NMEA";
my Garmin Etrex Legend is set for NMEA In/Out 4800 baud, I have the premade
cable connected, but under "Position" in the TH-D7 the Lat/Long degree
symbols blink (showing some data is being received?) but the Lat/Long never
appears...
Using an older gps, the symbols on the TH-D7 would blink for awhile and
then the Lat/Long would appear in a few seconds...
Thanks!
Bob KE6TIV

Is your TH-D7 an A(G) model? If not, it will not work with the longer
lat/lon that the Legend uses.

I would like to see Findu stop plotting any station with an exessive path.
Just bring up a dumb@** page that notes that station-xyz will not be
plotted until the path is corrected. Along with links to some suggestions
as to "correct path usage".

The potential for a holy war here is great and manifest. The problem with
the term 'excessive path' is that there are times when wide7-7 could be
needed to get you out of a valley or around a mountain range and into a
sufficently connected RF network. However, this yahoo in Spain is, as they
say, over the line. I would think triming on more than one wideN-n in the
same path or wideN-n and traceN-n in the same path would do the trick.
