But then your radio won't hear all the other APRS stations transmitting on 
144.39.  I was proposing the distribution of real time corrections within 
the framework of APRS, not as a standalone accuracy enhancement (for which 
there are a multitude of other approaches).

I suppose you could set up a high site to transmit two streams, one on 
144.39 with just position reports that you're basically digipeating and the 
other on something else that has both APRS messages and real time 
corrections merged, but it's not clear that the second frequency wouldn't 
wind up just as congested.  I guess it would have dupe's removed, and there 
wouldn't be as much contention from other mobile's transmitting.
