[OZAPRS] Field Day

[Richard Murnane]

Hi Darryl,

My pleasure. It was good to see the level of interest, and all the  
traces of APRs users on screen.

Maybe for next year it might be a good idea to have a PowerPoint  
slideshow showing the basics of the mode. Or maybe a YouTube video of  
APRS in action.

I hope he wasn't thinking about it from the point of view of nuts  
advertising that their home is unattended! It would probably be a good  
idea for the cops to know where all their vehicles are.

I'll update the sheet to improve the layout, and maybe group the QR  
codes at the bottom. I'll also add the U2APRS link for Android fans.
