[OZAPRS] VK APRS and google earth

[Dave Walmsley]

Andrew (and all),
I've been on air overnight, but not seeing my callsign in the Google 
list(http://vk4tec.no-ip.org/cgi-bin/google_vk2.cgi). It shows up on aprs.fi 
(http://aprs.fi/?c=raw&call=vk2xpx*&limit=50 ).

Any idea what's happening?

For those that may be interested I'm using a Foxtrack and an old Alinco HH 
with a 1/4 wave mag base on the shed roof for testing.

I've had trouble configuring the foxtrack, find that tinytrack config 
version 1 is the only one that will work, but some features (like smart 
beaconing) are not available with that version.

I'll go live in the next few days and hope to get to the Westlakes day on 
Sunday to compare notes with the locals (and clear out some stuff from the 
'shack').
