Episodes 38, 39 and 40 from the ARRL/TAPR DCC



Episode 38: An Open-Source APRS-IS Server

Running on Raspberry Pi, no less! APRS-IS is the network that shuttles all
that APRS data

around the world. The results show up on web sites like www.aprs.fi. In
this talk, aprs.fi's

Hessu Hannikainen OH7LZB digs into the stuff that makes APRS-IS run. And
yes, he has

one of the servers running on a little Raspberry Pi.



Episode 39: YAAC - Yet Another APRS Client

Andrew KA2DDO titled his talk as if there were too many APRS clients, and
maybe there are.

But his list of features and functions in this multi-platform program has
Bob Bruninga smiling.

Bob makes a guest appearance at the end of the episode. If you use APRS and
have been

hunting for a better interface, here's a rare opportunity to learn about a
good new one, in depth,

from the guy who wrote it.

Episode 40: APRS.fi - Behind the Curtains

If you're into APRS at all, odds are you've spent a fair amount of time on
the APRS.fi web site.

Odds also are that you've missed a lot of the features and functions of the
site! And unless you've

already watched Episode 38, you have no idea who and what is behind this
amazing web site.

So meet Hessu Hannikainen OH7LZB and get to know this resource a lot better.

The ARRL/TAPR DCCis an annual, three-day conference featuring presentations
on a variety of

technical and operational aspects of Amateur Radio. This year's DCC, held
in Atlanta last

September, had 16 of the 45-minute main presentations, the usual Saturday
banquet talk,

and a four-hour "deep dive" into GNU radio on Sunday. HamRadioNow
videotaped all the talks,

and we are now releasing them on-line. We'll continue with one or two a
week until

you have them all.
