APRS - today tracking on the Sierras

Many contests in the US have offered flight real time tracking using
SPOT.
We like amateur radio APRS tracking better.

If you would like to see why we have a preference, use this web site

www.aprs.fi

and enter the following four call signs.

Track Call Signs:

KI6RFR-7, KI6RFQ-7, KM6TS-7, KG6UNS-7


RFR-7 is Marty in 11W, his AS-W 27
RFQ is Milan P in Discus B '17'
6TS is Paul Quick in his SZD - 55
6UNS is Jim Staniforth in his AS-W 27

These pilots are all using two-meter amateur radio transmitters and
the
APRS packet reporting system.

You can expand or reduce the displayed flight time period, you can
slide the map around
with the hand tool, and change scale of map display, or delete or
include 'other or All' call signs.
There is a history function under the year display, select month and
date.

Have fun watching, as it looks like a ripping day.
We will likely have several folks flying tomorrow too.
