[AK-VHF] APRS Infrastructure

[Brandon Clark]

I'll reach out to them over phone or email and see if I can get in contact.
To my knowledge we (Alaskans) don't have any good igates or digipeaters on
the peninsula. The MARA group has been building out infrastructure in the
Mat-Su area. Maybe standing up some gear out on the peninsula would be a
good club project . . . .

Igates are pretty easy to do as a starting point. I could build out a few
raspberry pi gates pretty cheaply, along with instructions on how to use
them. Just need some good contacts out there to set them up with.
