Bob,
In a similar vein, I came across the lx9ses site that retransmits the
aprs traffic around Luxemburg; via the Astra satellite.
http://www.rlx.lu/qso/repeaters/aprs/160-lx9ses-aprs-sat-gateway.html
I reached out to them quite recently (17.02.2016) and here was the
reply:
A Raspberry PI connects here on site
to one of the main APRS servers and
forwards all reports around Luxembourg
(radius = 1200km if I remember well)
to the satellite IP gateway.
So most of Europe is transmitted by
satellite!
The service is running, I see data,
but I have not checked it for some time.
Seems a variation of what your talking about is in test?
Emile,
