[OZAPRS] APC510 tracker

[Owen Duffy]

Hi All,

An interesting track this afternoon from VK2YMC-8 who appears to be
flying Canberra towards Brisbane and from his beacon contents is using
an APC510 (an inexpensive little hand held tracker).

The track has been excellent, you can look at it aprs.fi or alternative.

I have captured log data from my receiver and  note that from the time
of take off until no more packets were heard directly by VK2AMW-1 or
VK2RHR-1, I heard 294 packets, of which 54 were first repeated by RHR
(ie heard direct from the tracker), and 134 first repeated by AMW. It is
hard to reconcile the difference as the track was west of both stations,
and at all times was closer to RHR.

An interesting experiment... well it was to me anyway.
