<DIV>Hi Keith</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>After I got the Python script working I started working on Jason kg4wsv Perl script. He had a few bugs but I got his script partially working. It sends one packet and stops (you can't just sleep() in between packets unless you close the socket).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Someone else is going to provide me with code to put the boat position reports in a database. I just have to get the data every 20 minutes and sent out a packet. The Orbcomm reports come in once an hour. The boats in the race have the option of renting the equipment (about half do).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>73 Bill </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><BR><B><I>Keith VE7GDH <ve7gdh@rac.ca></I></B> wrote:</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"> <DIV>Bill N9TN wrote...<BR><BR>> It was N9TN-1<BR><BR>It looks
