Funny you should mention that, as I'm building an APRS tracker for
airborne use right now. Hope to have it online in a couple weeks. Will
be totally self contained, and based on an old Kenwood KT-78A HT, a N1VG
OpenTracker, Garmin 18 GPS, Maldol AX75 1/2 wave 2M vertical and an AGM
battery. Should be fun to plot the data using Google Earth.
