[W8MWA] Attention APRS Fans & Users

[Randy Crowe]

Good to hear it's working.  Digi is a KPC-3+ attached to an Icom IC-25-A
(Circa 1982) mobile radio at 25W.  This is fed to a J-Pole at about 20
ft that has been in service since about 1995.  Probably will swap
antennas sometime later this spring although I might leave and put up
another one.
