[SGVLUG] GoFlex Net Presentation Description for July 2011 Meeting

[James McDuffie]

I plan to give a presentation next month about how I used the GoFlex Net 
with some amateur radio gear to set up an APRS fill-in digipeater.

APRS is a amateur radio network where small packets of data such as 
position reports, messages or telemetry are transmitted to other radio 
operators and eventually propagated to the Internet.

Using some surplus radio equipment that was just gathering dust, I set 
up a APRS station that will listen for packets and relay them to the 
Internet as well as repeat any packets that may be missed by digipeaters 
with greater geographic coverage.
