[OZAPRS] HF APRS

[Shaun]

So you probably don't want to know I am running a VK2XPP-10 on my 
phone?  ;-)

I like your way better.  One object.

Are there any downside to naming everything -9 that anyone can think of?

(Currently searching for USB cable to program open tracker and adjusting 
phone as we speak in anticipation)

I'm glad you questioned me.  Sometimes we follow the protocols that may 
not continue to be the best way as technology evolves.

Shaun VK2XPP-9?
