[ao16aprs] KS4AW via AO-16

[jbblack@mindspring.com]

Tried to use AO-16 for APRS today.  Don't know if I succeeded or not.  Had a
63 deg. pass and had to try it.  Unfortunately, my WinAPRS is currently
shareware and it shutdown in the middle of the pass, by the time I got all
the parameters re-set, the pass was complete (gives quite a good argument
for registration - HI HI).  However, it apparently worked; I could see my
station on www.aprs.net on the Southeastern USA display.

Am still playing with the settings.  Am running NOVA for the satellite
tracking and, as I said, Shareware WinAPRS.  Best I can tell, I just setup
NOVA to run a pass for AO-16 and let WinAPRS do the rest with the TNC and
PSK modem.  I am just here to tune the radio.  Very good signal also from
AO-16 up to an S8!

Next pass is only 13 degrees, but will try again.  In the meantime, if any
of you have any pointers (besides registering the software) I'm all ears...

73,
Joel
