<div dir="ltr"><div>Hello,</div><div> </div><div>If I want to send Space Weather on local RF do I use the "." (period) data type and, if so, is there a format defined? </div><div> </div><div>If not, should I arbitrarily construct a format to be sent as an Announcement?</div>
<div><div> </div><div>Page 17 (PDF v 1.0.1) of the Protocol Reference says 'reserved'. I've looked at <a href="http://www.aprs.org/aprs12.html">http://www.aprs.org/aprs12.html</a> and searched but don't see any update to 1.0.1</div>
<div> </div></div><div>I am assuming 'space weather' to be current observations (SFI, Ap, Kp, Speed, Density, Bz, Bt) and not space weather Alerts, am I correct in that? </div><div> </div><div>Would hourly transmission to RF be suitable/advisable? (I'm keen to hear opinions on whether this is useful data at all)</div>
<div> </div><div>Am I also right in thinking I should add RFONLY (keep off APRS-IS)</div><div> </div><div>Sorry for the Question Bomb!</div><div> </div><div>Thanks and 73,</div><div>Mike</div><div>GM1WKR</div><div> </div>
