Jason's APRS page

just a skeleton for now

The offical APRS wiki is at info.aprs.net

an APRS presentation I gave for the UAH Space Hardware club. Designed as an introduction to APRS for ballooning.

a presentation I gave for the USLP workshop. Designed as a brief introduction introduction to ham radio tracking and telemetry for rocketry folks.

some xastir files, mostly dbfawks, that I have written are here

the xastir homepage is www.xastir.org

some pictures and data logs from UAH balloonsat flights are located here

My various APRS callsign/SSIDs:

• KG4WSV Kenwood TM-D700 in my truck
• KG4WSV-1 Kenwwod TH-D7A portable, in my wife's car, etc
• KG4WSV-2 xastir running on desktop computer
• KG4WSV-6 xastir on laptop
• KG4WSV-7 XDigi operating at home with a rooftop antenna (no other digis in town, so it's better than nothing)
• KG4WSV-10, KG4WSV-11 various OpenTracker balloon tracking packages, ususally a backup to a student-built primary tracker on a UAH Balloonsat. Here are two examples.
• KG4WSV-13 OpenTracker2 beta - neat device! It can do so many things I'm not sure what to use it for. It can operate as a smart digi and as a TNC for regualr APRS use, so I'll probably use it for that when I can move my digi inside the house.
• KG4WSV-15 Igate running at UAH - sometimes on 2m satellite frequency, sometimes on backup tracker frequency for balloon flights (144.34MHz)
