APRS and Packet Radio in Western Australia
Lots of fun. In spite of reading in many places that one should operate QRP, it simply doesn't do it while its a long way between digis.So what do we do? Crank up the power, or get more digis. While we work on the latter, I'll be using a few watts extra to make sure I hit a digi.Since we installed an APRS digi at VK6RTH site, there's a much improved coverage.
It's interesting to note that VK6RLK-3 gets to VK6RTH-3 via VK6KSB Turner Hill
this is how easy it is to get aprs information into radio mobile.
