APRS on 30m (QRP) and 2m via Satellite

On this current road trip I'm running APRS on 30m using my IC-705 and an Open Tracker OT2m made by Argent Data Systems.  The OT2m has been sitting in a cupboard for a few years, so good to get it out and dust it off.

Coverage has been patchy but it's not bad for running a max of 10 watts.

I've also been running 2m APRS on the Satellite frequency of 145.825MHz.  So far I have managed one beacon reaching a SatGate in Depasar.


 Also managed a 20m SSB (5w) contact into Perth (VK6SJ) from Mimbi Caves.
