Chris Moulding G4HYG (of Cross-Country Wireless and APRS Messenger fame) and I have been experimenting with APRS-over-VARA on 30 meters for some time now.
This morning (28 Nov 2024 -Thanksgiving Day in the US), I awoke to this mapping display on one of my APRS computer displays. ?? This was received on my Kenwood TS-690 and a G5RV-type dipole sloping toward the UK and Europe.? Radio is connected to an Acer? "netbook" 11.8" mini-laptop running UIview.? The Space Station has nothing to do with the contact - it's just tracked on the same display in real time, and happened to "photo-bomb" the screen cap.
This was screen-capped at 10:00 AM US Eastern Time (1500 UTC 28 November).? Note that the transmission was actually heard about an hour and a half earlier.
