APRS-IS in Australia
Page changed by VK7HSE: Fri, 31/12/2010 - 15:12.
Here in Australia, there are three TIER2 servers that have been set up specifically to service the APRS-IS connections from the Australian region. Each of these servers provides a standard set of ports on which connections can be made. Each port provides a different subset of the global APRS-IS stream. The recommended DNS to use is aunz.aprs2.net for the Oceania region.
Below is the list of APRS-IS servers...
- first.aprs.net.au / australia.aprs2.net
