[OZAPRS] 30m APRS situation

[Phil Shields]

 Greetings Grant. yes on second look it is out of date, a pity. I use 30 meter APRS a lot in the Vic high country and along the steep valleys of the Buckland river. Works a treat, but I have never attempted a message.

Phil,

  

That list unfortunately looks horribly out of date. 40m is now up on 7050 I think? (7046 USB), VK5LY hasn’t been with us for several years unfortunately and I wonder how many of those stations are still there? (The list was dated 2014).

  

Does anyone have any more up to date info I wonder?

Hi everyone

  

First post, information sponging!

  

- Am a permanent road dweller wandering around VK. More bouncing off the 

borders at the moment of course. Most of my time is out in the 

sticks/remote so Internet and 2m nodes aren't a lot of help. I only use 

amateur radio for HF.

  

- I time share the Icom 9100 on 30m voice and APRS whilst also logging 

145.825 sats. (RX only) It QSY's magically every 10 minutes, sends two 

FX25 packets, waits a few more seconds then takes me back where I was.

  

- Using an SSID of 12

  

Questions

  

- Are there any 30m RF transmitting IGates in VK? It would be nice to 

use short messaging.

  

- Assuming there are, what is the retry/timeout period from the IS and 

could an ack be sent by another path sometime later?

  

- I assume messaging has been blocked on the satellite systems?

  

Many thanks

  

Cheers Bob VK2YQA
