[OZAPRS] APRS Coverage : Towards Albany

[Chris Hill]

Hi All,

Finally got around to looking at the APRS results of last week's drive to
Albany and back.

Coverage is sort of OK until south of Boddington...  managed to get one
packet in on high ground north of Williams.

Interestingly, there are 5 packets which made in in from further south;  2
just north of Arthur River, one north of Kojonup, one from the
Porongorups,
and one from somewhere near the Stirling Ranges.

Here's the interesting packets, taken from

The VK6KSB-1 digi is really quite an amazing site!  ... although getting
these few packets in can hardly be called "reliable" :-)
