FYI

I've had an experimantal form of APRS working sporadically in Western NSW
for a number of years. Ingredients are Open Tracker, Ubuntu, Xastir and
UHF CB rigs.

Basic purpose ... to track valuable assets (tractors, headers, fire
trucks, people) on large properties (60,000 acres) during the hectic
sowing and harvesting periods.

I'm amazed someone hasn't come up with a commercial version for this
purpose. My own experiments were of course, for my own self education.
