I'm using this message to inform as well as test the CMS ability to handle one of my epistles. Just an update regarding my project for APRS and can it be used for my ops here as a gateway - and other Hams too for that matter. Originally, I started out some time back with BPQ32 and its built-in APRS. I moved away from that and went to Packet gateway ops on VHF 145.050 for a few years to augment my HF gateway. It seemed to me that APRS fell short of expectations. I didn't know that there were others who felt the same way. I thought that APRS could be used to augment gateway operations since ALE was being ignored across the board, sadly. That's another story. Recently, I shut down my VHF gateway in favor of VHF Winmor, provided by my HF gateway's VHF Port. That freed up my VHF BPQ32 and I set about to put my BPQ APRS activity back on the map. I quickly found that it had little value to me, despite the nifty map that was perpetually busy with stations near and far. I also noticed that there was NO LOCAL APRS activity and was in keeping with the total lack of VHF Packet activity as well.
