APRS - Again 10-13-10

For those who are bored at work, we are having a nice thermal day
in So California, and expect a nice day tomorrow also.

You can watch Marty soar for another hour or two, via his
amateur radio APRS tracking through www.aprs.fi
and enter his call sign KI6RFQ-7. You can alter the tracking
time displayed on the map function by entering three hours in the
time window.

Many of us here use the APRS system for its better tracking
time-resolution than other systems, non-subscription, and
alternative voice utility of the transmitter (for some of us)
through amateur radio licensing. Some pilots are
using a transmit only unit, powered up with the ship's power
for fully automated tracking function.

It's fun to watch.
