Hi all,
I'm a longtime monitor of the group and this is the first time I've posted anything, so apologies if I make a protocol misstep. I am in Montana (north of Livingston) working on developing a project that will use a high altitude balloon and APRS. I have brought my little rig out here to test and I hear no APRS traffic at all. If I want to be able to track this balloon flight, would I have to set up a temporary digipeater and igate? I will have internet access at the launch site. I also have a Kantronics TNC. The device I'm testing now is a Yaesu VX-1 with a TinyTrak3+, and a Garmin puck. I know this system works as I have tested it back home. I have an OT1+ that I haven't yet tested but I expect this will replace the TT. I also have a new iphone and the app iBCNU, to test the network out here, and I get no indication of an APRS network. Could anyone give a terribly green user some direction on developing a temporary arrangement? I know Keith
will be helpful as he has answered my questions in the past offlist. Thanks in advance,
Steven Brower
