Hi Guy's
I always used two different SSID for my HF (-15) and VHF (-9) transmissions
from the mobile,
Some HF Gates pass to VHF and not direct to the Internet.
This makes it difficult to assess which band your signal got through on.
Therefore the easiest way to see how well each band is working is to check
each SSID.

Ross,
I used 30m on a recent trip into the Simpson Desert and even though
I had
antenna problems, HF APRS worked a treat.
I would caution you on using different callsigns on different bands
from the
same vehicle. -9 and -15 will appear as different "units" on the aprs
website.
In true military style, I believe that position reports from a unit,
received
via different means should correlate as the same unit; hence "the tractor"
will always appear as VK1IAN-9.
You need to look at the gate information to see where the posit was
received.
