Hello Mark,<br>
<br>
Your 40m igate has been receiving my mobile beacons exceedingly well
from SW NSW even though aprs.fi doesn't list my tracker's callsign
VK2HFG-9 as having been heard directly. It appears that aprs.fi
doesn't recognise OT+ compressed position beacons for the stations
heard directly statistics even though it shows them on the map of
position packets sent to aprs-is. OT+ compressed format is not
Mic-E compressed format and the packets are never listed by any
igate as having been heard directly so its not just your igate.<br>
<br>

<div> </div>
</div>
<div>
<div dir="ltr">Hi all,
<div><br>
</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><br>
</div>
<div>The receivers are sitting on:</div>
<div>30m: 10147.6 kHz USB</div>
<div>40m: 7045.2 kHz USB</div>
<div><br>
</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><br>
</div>
<div>Information on the scripts I'm using to run this is
available here: <a

<div><br>
</div>
<div>The 30m iGate has been running for a while, and has
seen stations as far away as Europe.</div>
