[VHFcontesting] APRS Protocols for SS 08?

[Carl Facer]

On a quick note, you can use the following website to track APRS stations
using a google maps interface. Also, check out the options on the right hand
side of the screen for long-term data and other goodies.

It's th bst interface I've sen so far ... if only there were a software
prgram like this that could interface with a TNC and didn't need an internet
connection for the maps...

(on APRS now as KC2LLT-9 using a PocketTracker @ 200mW, perminanent install
in the car ... and love it!)
