The Appalachian Trail Golden Packet event? is an annual tradition started by WB4APR in 2009.? The goal is to set up 15 temporary VHF/UHF APRS stations on mountain tops, along the Appalachian Trail, and send messages end to end between Georgia and Maine.? This year it is on July 16.
?
Traditionally, this has been performed with APRS capable Kenwood radios as the digipeaters.? This year, some stations will try using Raspberry Pi based digipeaters at both 1200 and 9600 bps.
