Automatic Position Reporting System
| On June 19, 2004 our club installed APRS node VE1ARC. It was a project headed up by VE1CFY and VE1II. The system was installed thanks to donations from several club members and the NSARA. Thanks to NSARA for the TNC and Ron VE1AIC for programming it. Thanks to Bruce VE1II for the folded Dipole, Guy VE1NC for the Century II radio, Eric VE1CFY for coax mounting hardware and assembly of the station and Rick VE1RIK and Sue VE1BAT for allowing us to locate the system in their garage. Thanks also to all the folks that helped with the installation of the system. |
