I have fully migrated my 60-meters APRS receive-igate-mapping
webserver to 40 meters for the indefinite future.?? As you can see
on the live UI-webserver live map, I am seeing VERY few stations
on 40M except in the later part of the evening.? We seem to be
currently having another? relatively-minor geomagnetic storm at
the moment.??
I will continue to watch and monitor 40 meters in anticipation of
the 30-vs-40 shoot-out on my trip up north on the 8th of Feb.???
I may have a chance sooner for a road trip (around the end of
this month) as I drive my sister who lives in Kalamazoo, Mich to
the Grand Rapids, MI? air port for an overseas trip. This trip
will not take me as far afield as the February one, but it will be
a total of about 200 miles in a triangular route --
Lansing-Kalamazoo-Grand Rapids-Lansing.?? All under daylight
conditions.?
The 40-meters APRS igate/webserver is at:

Since this was a dual-mode (AX.25 packet -and- VARA) receive
system on 60 meters, it still is on 40.? If you want, you can take
a shot at classic AX.25 packet APRS.? Just leave the radio on the
same frequency (7083.5 USB) and use a soft TNC like the UZ7HO
Soundmodem or DireWolf instead of VARA.? The results from any
receive on 40M classic packet APRS will be here on my web server:
