[aprssig] Preparing for a long roadtrip

[Bruce & Leigh Coates]

Hi Joel

There nothing different about the rules or frequencies for APRS operation in 
Canada.  10.151 LSB is also just fine.  You also don't have to worry about 
using a suffix on APRS since you're constantly reporting you *exact* 
location.  With that, not only will everyone know which province you're in , 
they'll also which town, neighbourhood, street, block and house you're 
operating from.  ;-)

Have a good trip.

73, Bruce

Part of the trip includes Canada (Ontario and Quebec).  In Canada, if
I understand the rules right, I need to identify as N7XUC/VE3 or
N7XUC/VE2 depending on province.  It also says that I need to
identify my geographic location.  Is putting N7XUC/VE3 (or 2,
depending on province I'm in) in my status text sufficient to be
legal?  (I'll use two PM's for this on my D700)  I try not to violate
other country's laws when visiting.  :)  Are there any significant
differences (legal or technical) regarding APRS in Canada that I need
to know about?

If I decide to use my new HF privileges, can I do HF APRS on 10.151
LSB while in Canada?  (don't bother looking me up on QRZ yet - I just
passed yesterday)
