Brian, G3OJZ, has produced some excellent UK maps for UI-View and other APRS applications. We make good use of the APRS mode here in the south east of England with several repeaters/gateways and many users broadcasting their home and mobile positions. There are many fun applications (I usually get a text message when I pull into a McDonald’s car park) as well as more serious uses such as for emergency communications groups such as RAYNET. For more information about our local network and APRS in general visit the MB7USK’s website.

Planet Ham Updates
I’ve been neglecting Planet Ham a little lately as life as got a bit busier than usual. An email today triggered me to update the software behind Planet Ham to the latest version. This will fix some of the odder problems such as mangled Blogger blogs and images not appearing.
One question that has been raised is whether non-English feeds should be split off onto a separate page. I’m happy mske this alteration as the balance between non-English and English feeds is beginning to tip. Any ideas on how I could best acomplish this? For example, a page for English feeds and another for everything else, or a page for English feeds, Italian feeds, Russian feeds, etc? This is an issue I’m looking to address in the mythical Planet Ham 2.0, but, as my circumstances have changed, that could be some time off.
My current thought is to seperate into italy.planetham.com, etc. All ideas welcome! Please click through to my blog and comment away.
