[OZAPRS] 6M APRS

[Ray Wells]

I imagine that 6m APRS would be as popular as 6m packet :-(

6m FM mobile had a peak many years ago but I would have a guess and say 
there's not too many 6m mobile installations these days.

However, I hold the belief that we should be encouraging activity and we 
can do that by providing the facilities for end users.

Is that belief enough grounds to warrant a 6m APRS frequency? I'll leave 
that for others to decide.
