[aprssig] APRS RFID in Hara Arena on APRS.FI

[Lynn W. Deffenbaugh (Mr)]

Bob,

It looks like you created the objects in one location and then moved 
them to their current locations?  I've captured how these objects look 
in APRSIS32 at various zoom levels and posted them to 
http://tinyurl.com/DaytonRFID

To get them to actually touch one another, the zoom is 110 feet for the 
diameter of the circle (upper right corner).  At that zoom level, 
maximizing the window on my 1920x1400 laptop screen still only gives 196 
feet of vertical space.  So with a map that covers the entire arena, I 
suspect there's not enough room to show stacks at each location, even 
with a large screen.

Great idea though, and I'm anxious to see how it all comes out.  Who 
knows, it might even get me to add a toggle-option to my client to show 
or hide callsigns next to the icons!  Especially when I expect most of 
them to be people walking!

good for 24 hours unless Bob is refreshing the objects)
