<DIV dir=ltr>Hi all,
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm now running receive-only HF APRS iGates at the AREG low-noise remote HF
Receive site, which is north of Adelaide. The antenna is a broadband conical
monopole. The callsign is currently VK5QI-3.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The receivers are sitting on:</DIV>
<DIV>30m: 10147.6 kHz USB</DIV>
<DIV>40m: 7045.2 kHz USB</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>These iGates are using direwolf, which is hooked into the Airspy HF
SpyServers which are running up at the site. This allows the receivers to be
shared amongst many clients, of which the HF APRS decoder is one.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Information on the scripts I'm using to run this is available here: <A
href="https://gist.github.com/darksidelemm/6b60767714295962771bca7b728b343c">https://gist.github.com/darksidelemm/6b60767714295962771bca7b728b343c</A></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The 30m iGate has been running for a while, and has seen stations as far
away as Europe.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
