I would send just your own callsign in the usual way and
supplement that with a periodic beacon to satisfy the ACMA, not
that there's much chance of you being monitored by them. Anyone
watching aprs will clearly see where you are transmitting from.
FYI the Oz aprs frequency is 145.175MHz.<br>

I think beer drinkers the world over have pretty much standarised
on style. You'll get the hang of it real quick, hi.<br>

However, under AX.25, you can't put a slash-call in the "FROM" header.
Is is sufficient to put my actual callsign in the FROM header, and
include my callsign /VK in the message body? Anyone from down-under
able to clarify/collaborate that?
Also, I'll be in Melbourne, and if there's anyone on the list interested
in showing me how to drink a beer on the other side of the planet, I'm a
willing and able student.
