That is, somewhere has line of sight to most of the bay?<br><br><br>I guess for California, the comparable situation would be San Francisco Bay.<br><br>You probably couldn't for instance, track an ambitious sea kayaker <br>down the entire Pacific Coast, using the terrestrial APRS network.<br><br>But the idea of using the ARISS packet digi is intriguing. Is it <br>actually
working? Someone had mentioned that the Amateur stuff on <br>ISS was shut down, except for school contacts.. and there's no <br>obvious place to go for status on the ARISS page.<br><br>Jim, W6RMK<br><br><br><br><br><br></div></div><br></div></div><br>
