<br>
<br>
As our club is participating in the fieldday next weekend, I have been asked to announce the station via APRS and/or APRS-IS:<br>
<br>
See here:<br>
<a href="http://aprs.fi/#!mt=roadmap&z=11&call=a%2FFD%3DON4OS&timerange=3600&tail=3600" target="_blank">http://aprs.fi/#!mt=roadmap&z=<u></u>11&call=a%2FFD%3DON4OS&<u></u>timerange=3600&tail=3600</a><br>
<br>
<br>
Now, talking about this with some fellow hams, it would perhaps also be interesting to announce the other fieldday stations in our region (or in all of Belgium) too.<br>
<br>
So, my question:<br>
is there a limit on the number of objects/items that can be announced by an APRS station (on RF or on the net?)<br>
<br>
<br>
Based on the information I receive, there are some 30 fieldday station in all of ON. (5 of them in the coastal region).<br>
<br>
<br>
BTW. Is the information still correct that a fieldday station should be announced as FD=<callsign> and that the symbol is a tent?<br>
