[W8MWA] Monongalia Wireless Association February 2018 Survey Results

Sat Feb 24 21:19:23 EST 2018

I would love to see a digipeater at the site. The aprs.fi website shows
that we are in a pretty big APRS dead zone here. Depending on what you want
to do, you might not need internet at the site, since a receive only igate
can be set up somewhere else in town to just capture everything that is
digipeated. I have been playing with a raspberry pi igate but I'm in a bad
location for reception.

I actually use APRS mostly for satellite/ISS ops, as it's possible to make
satellite QSOs that way. Let me know if you want information about that
aspect of it.
