[NLRS] Any APRS experts in NLRS land ?

[w0zq at aol.com]

OK guys. As you may be aware, the rover rules are once again being 
discussed by the VUAC. One aspect (of many) is the use of APRS (not 
HamIM which is already allowed).

Here are my question to those who are knowledgeable in APRS. Most of 
you know what our rover range and rover conditions are like here in the 
Upper Midwest.

Question # 1. What kind of station would a rover need to have to 
support APRS in his/her rover ?   Power, equippment, and antenna ?
Question # 2. From EN22 to EN37, from EN04 to EN55 (etc), what kind of 
coverage can we expect ? 100%, 80%, 50 % ? Just a rough idea would be 
helpful.
Question # 3. What equipment does a fixed station need to have to use 
the rover's APRS info ?

Any other insight and comments are welcome.

73, Jon
