Thanks for the info folks. I guess I'll just have to wait until I pick it

Sounds like someone needs to edit their quotes down. There's no need to
quote more than 20 lines in most cases. This is a good policy for those
of us who get the digest.

QST, August 2003, Page 9, It seems to us... -- "One minor agenda item of
interest to amateurs was settled early. Revisions to Article 19 of the
international Radio Regulations to provide greater flexibility for
administrations to assign call signs to amateur stations were among the
first decisions to make their way through first reading in the Plenary,
which is the final authority at the conference. Administrations will be
able to assign amateur stations call signs with suffixes containing up
to four characters, the last of which shall be a letter, following the
natinoal identifier and the single numberal (the "call area" in the
United States and some other countries) specified in the Radio
Regulatoins. There is also a provision for even more than four
characters on special occasions, for temporary use."
Conjecture -- since I haven't read the actual text of the revision:
Callsigns such as WB1ABCD and KA2ABCDE may now be a possibility.
While at first glance, this may appear to allow the "breaking" of the
AX.25 protocol (where the "Call" field is limited to 6-bytes), it will
be important to remember that -- at least in the US -- the callsign may
appear anywhere in the frame and remain a legal identifier.
Though the revision probably won't be adopted in the USA for quite some
time, APRS authors may wish to begin to consider this possibility in
their code in the years to come.

Ev Tupis, W2EV

Not completely true:

This was about 15 minutes after the tornado had touched down- But this is
why you have Skywarn.

Gents,
I am trying to see the data that is supposed to come OUT of the THD7 to a
GPS and write a waypoint.
I know it works, cause my GPS shows the waypoints.
I cannot seem to see this on a terminal
Settings:
4800,n,8,1
NMEA GPS
9Digit NMEA
Flow control = none
Am I doing something wrong ?

My read would suggest that they are still 6 characters. But now you can
have W1ABCD and K2ABCD...

There are countries with national identifiers of a letter and a number.
Could there be a A61ABCD?

Hey, it's just a reminder anyway. It's easy to get around.
It just keeps the casual 'non thinking' poster (to be polite) from replying
to a 200 line post with a 1-line comment of "I agree" kind of thing. (
Yes, I see that a lot in some forums!)

Interesting.. I wonder why I did not see it. I know I had it up and
working, I even posted a Object where it touched down right when the first
reports came in.
