APRS Information


I'm actively bringing APRS to the Methow Valley.  The Mazama iGate/digipeater and McClure digipeater are operational.   APRS coverage is from the Silver Star snow gate on Hwy 20 down to Hwy 97 more or less as well as up to Loup Loup.  Mobiles have been able to hit McClure from I90, BC Hwy 3, Chelan, Brewster, Omak, Okanogan, Mansfield, Coulee and Wilber, though these contacts are the exception.

Best Web Viewer (simplest)  --  http://aprs.fi/  or directly:  http://aprs.fi/?call=a/WB6WUI-3  This will bring up the Forester.  The a/WB6WUI-3 in the window on the page means "auto-refresh" the page to track the movement.  Click around as there's plenty on this page.

I plan to use 25 watt VHF Maxtracs for the mobile trackers.  The Mazama iGate/digipeater has a very sensitive receiver to maximize hearing the mobiles.  The Maxtrac's are relatively numb so they will be only for use where sensitivity is not as high a priority, typically in vehicles.
