[FADCA] Florida Telpac APRS Map

[bud thompson]

The map of active Telpacs in Florida is starting to get well- populated.  If 
you can get this entire URL in your Browser/Find/Open filed you will go to 
the APRS maps with the Florida Telpacs plotted.  You can zoom in and mover 
around to see more detail.

http://mm.aprs.net/map.cgi?zoom=0&lat=28.855551&lon=-81.5381675&map=APRSworld&geo=&black=0&range=4.89888&last=1&maplist=master.txt&width=640&call=*-WL&height=480&click.x=336&click.y=286

There are three Telpacs nested near Jacksonville, and another three nested 
near Orlando on this scale map.  There are none off this map south of WA2DXQ

Once you learn to center/zoom, etc, you can navigate around the state for 
more detail.  Until then, here is a map of Central Florida that breaks out 
those nested near Orlando - N1FL is the Telpac node at the Seminole County 
EOC:

and northern Florida to show those:

We need more Telpac nodes to provide better coverage throughout the 
state-wide Layered Packet Network.  It doesn't take much to put up a telpac 
node, it is just a simple packet station with a computer (Win98 or later) 
and an internet connection (broadband or dial up.)
