Hi,
thank you for the welcome, all the information and comments.
I am not doing aprs on packet frequencies, those have their own spots. I mostly just do regular aprs on 2m anyway.
All should be good, the map is useful and I now show up in the right spot after correcting my locator config.
FlexNet - I think occasionally I hear stations on that, but nothing regular or strong enough to connect up to, so far - I might be missing it, of course. I will continue to look and explore.
I like keyboard to keyboard modes and hope to find more activity. I do a lot of that outside of packet and so on packet it feels like a natural thing.?
If anyone sees me on air feel free try direct connect for interactive chat :)
Finally, I just ordered a new decent spec mini pc, 8 core, 32Gb RAM, 1Tb SSD - this will be my new linux (radio) server, means I can leave it going headless, connected to rigs. I'll work on that and transfer all over to it in due course. Then and perhaps with one more rig as yet TBC, I might leave something on air more often than not. There seems to be a lack of VHF packet in this spot, which is weird being so close to the city. There is a chance I can fill a void here, I'm higher than all of NYC and can reach all of it, so could be a good spot for a VHF packet node. But we shall see...
thanks again, 73, Louis / kd2yck
