<font size=2 color="#000080">Hi All can I ask a question why would we
want to use 6M for APRS? If one reads Bob’s WB4APR’s web page APRS is
about a “single channel” for all amateur radio information. I can see we
need HF where there is no VHF coverage but for 6M I can’t see what more
it has to offer apart from just occupying more of the spectrum<br>

Personally, I think we as Amateurs should occupy every bit of any
allocated band space that we can! IF we don't occupy it, the
various regulatory people will simply say that we are not using it
so.....we end up loosing it.<br>
I sure would be interested in 6m APRS, but I would try a goofy idea I
have, to use SSB @ 300 baud.. ;-) <br><br>
