FYI - I picked up a nice J-Pole antenna today, with the thought in mind of donating it for use with our soon-to-be-assembled APRS digipeater.

At one time, WF8X (Jack Coster) had a weather station on top of Percival Hall that spit out weather data. I would love to see us get a station up at the repeater site, too. With 52% of our regular attendees having System Fusion rigs of one form or the other, many of them have APRS capability built-in. I have a couple older 2 meter rigs I'd like to put into service again somehow. I am saving up for a FT2D handheld so I can use the portable APRS feature for our marathons, walks and bike races in the area when we do support comms. I have never done APRS but want to learn. The nuts and bolts of APRS, some use-cases (including balloon chases and search / rescue) and ease of entry to a reasonably priced solution would be an excellent program for the club! Would love to hang the info off the MWA website, as well! Git 'er done!
