#aprsfi — Public Fediverse posts

Did a roadtrip with my mobile #aprs digipeter ( #ftm500 #yaesu) today with my #uvpro monitoring with #aprsfi To my phone. Was about a 4.5 hour drive. Pretty interesting to see all the stations! It was also cool I could monitor on my FTM-500 and the UV-Pro at the same time. #photo #photography #amateurradio #hamradio #packetradio #baofeng #btech

@howardu that’s my #aprsfi marker for @howardu #hospital from my #igate Wb2ifs-10 but my #ht is not on the map

Testing #aprs is of great fun!

Lately I had two WOW-moments, one is positive, one a bit scarry:
1. #aprsfi really works for #spotting. One OM saw my track and we managed to get two #QSOs despite the difficult conditions for #2m (many trees, no line of sight). Thanks to @oe3pwr for the patience!
2. Though APRS offers pretty good positioning data, it can also lead to misinterpretations, at least when combined with SAT data. It looks like I climbed up a sandy 90° wall. Nope, not this time! 😵‍💫

That's been a very relaxed – yet successful – #sota #chase to OE/NO-180!

At this hightened spot (around 430 m/1410 ft) my #aprs analog signal was caught by OE3XLR (QTH JN77TX) from about 43 km/26 mi at exactly 90°!

QTH: JN87CX

#aprsfi

Operating #portable / #mobile #ham on a #bike isn't always fun. A tire damage kicked me out for some time, heat and an approaching thunderstorm made me ride a bit faster than usual, and – as usual on this route – a lot of APRS data sent from the digipeaters but no #QSO.

Interesting comparison between #GPS and #APRS data. Compare the pictures.

@do1mj @aprsdroid and #aprsfi provide amazing APRS interfaces compared to what you get on even the best APRS radio. That's the reason I created our first product. An APRS radio is OK as a tracker (broadcast only), but I find their interface rather lacking if you want to see what's going on around you.
