That's precisely what I was thinking, and I appreciate you taking the
time to reply. Looking forward to my trip down there, assuming I can
get OUT of Atlanta (winter weather moving in, including sheeting ice and
subzero temperatures, about the same time my flight leaves.)
Also, thanks to Lynn and Andrew for putting in their thoughts.

<pre wrap="">John,
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.
I think beer drinkers the world over have pretty much standarised on
style. You'll get the hang of it real quick, hi.
Cheers,

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.
