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>

30m/40m</font>
<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>
