[aprssig] APRS on Android

[Eric Lorenz K9LGE]

Actually, maybe I wasn't clear after all..what I am looking for is to be 
able to use my APRSDroid app for beaconing, and to be seen in the local 
APRS environment just the same as those using RF, via RF. So, anyone 
viewing APRS via RF on a map would see me (via reverse IS-to RF igating) 
along with anyone else out there...locally to where I am. Anyone else 
who is not local to where *I* am can just go on aprs.fi and see my 
path/position.

Example...I am in Madison, WI- I want my beacons to be seen by anyone 
watching APRS via RF as if I was beaconing directly via radio.

Is that any clearer?
