[VHFcontesting] APRS Protocols for SS 08?

[Mark Adams, PE]

Hi Gang,

The K2QO/R will be riding high in Jan SS next weekend along with APRS 
which is new to us. How will folks monitoring APRS know if a station is 
a rover or not? Should the comment section in the setup of my TinyTrak3 
say "ROVER" or is there going to be a special SSID after the callsign? 
Should rovers gravitate to a particular frequency on 144 to listen for 
calls from stations monitoring APRS? Has this all been covered and I 
missed it? Inquiring minds need to know!

My APRS is working. I have my unit set for K2QO-9 and you can see my 
ride into work from this morning FWIW.

73,
Mark K2QO/R

I have the feeling that once this gets used to some extent, people will 
find that HamIM is the better way to go because I cannot find a webpage 
with a good view of what stations are where.
