APRS and Echolink

Now in testing mode at The Bluff and performing well.

Here are some details provided by Peter VK5BE.

At The Bluff on Friday August 15th, a new 2m folded dipole was installed by Nick VK5NJS and together with the digipeater and interfacing PC  installed by James VK3JBM, an APRS repeater is now operational on 145.175 MHz.
 
Initial reports are picking up location packets up to 100km away.
 
The APRS map can be found at http://www.aprs.fi
 
Also, while James was on site, he installed a new Echolink gateway on our 2m linked repeater network.
 
Many thanks guys.
