A simple 6 meter fm transmitter and an old Pentium PC power of lets say 5 watts and a loop or something like that and a simple broad band connection.

W2EV I believe has been trying to get that going for years. Trouble is
by the time a signal gets good enough to be copied in AFSK on FM APRS,
signals on the bottom of 6m on SSB have been workable for hours and been
worked for hours. And the F1 propagation modes are very frequency
sensitive often working better at 50.0 than at 50.1.
