Hi Andy,<br><br>Welcome to the US! :-)<br><br>My understanding is that you use your regular SSID, and put the country prefix and your call in the beacon text. Going the other way, I think you are correct to use W1/M0HAK if you will be in MA.<br>
<br>I'm sure others on the list will jump in and send a correction if I'm wrong. :-)<br><br>73,<br>Don WA4AVU<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Jul 23, 2011 at 1:58 PM, Andy Cunningham <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:andyc@cunningham.me.uk">andyc@cunningham.me.uk</a>></span> wrote:<br>

If I want to use APRS locally I understand that I need to change my APRS frequency from the European setting of 144.800 to the US setting of 144.390MHz, and make sure my path is appropriate for the US conventions.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I assume, however, that the APRS SSID remains as M0HAK-7 (I think it's -7) but should I including the visiting callsign of W1/M0HAK in the beacon status text for full identification, or does the fact that I'm transmitting a GPS location provide sufficient location as for this not to be an issue.</div>
