[OZAPRS] ISS gate RTLSDR

[Matthew Cook]

That wouldn't be unreasonable given the circumstances....

It costs real $$$ to run any APRS service and you've just got to be
thankful that someone is willing to stump the cash for your enjoyment.

So I say a big thanks !

The new 70cm downlink is a little harder to decode due to doppler... but
gpredict, a FCDP+ and a small C shim seems to take care of it...   Now to
finish off that new 70cm masthead preamp project and deploy.
