[OZAPRS] Advice wanted, tracking a walking person

[Michael Wain]

In the end of the day I don't think the reason for the F calls not been aloud for the call sign to be transmitted by the APRS network is not because of the PTN, hence why they can use echolink, but there call sign is been transmitted by a digital mode.

Maybe same input by Richard VK3JFK is needed.. 

Yours sincerely

    that. The foundation licencee has no direct connection to, and no
    control of, any igate.

    Having their callsign appear on a digital mode being illegal is wrong
    too - it's not really any different from you and I mentioning an
    foundation licencee's callsign via DV voice being illegal - the
    foundation licencee has no more control over that.

    No real difference to an foundation licencee running the echolink
    software and connecting to a link or repeater station.

  You have a good point there.
  From  page 19 of the 2008 LCD :


  Note An amateur foundation station may be indirectly connected to a
  public telecommunications network through a gateway operated by another licensee.
