Network Problems / Delays

We recently had a large storm come through last weekend and it has caused problems with our Internet connection. This has unfortunately caused some major slowdowns and timeouts and a general source of instability. Our line is being worked on so please be patient, we should be back up to 100% soon.

Also note we have assumed the EMAIL APRS message alias since Keith Sprouls email server is currently down.

To send an email from APRS send an APRS message to "EMAIL" with the destination email address, space and your message following.

Example Message Field:

NV6G>APRS::EMAIL :email@address.com Hello! How are you today?

Bug in Message Creation Fixed

Last night a noticed a couple of users trying to send out APRS messages that were failing. The failure was because the callsigns were typed in lower case and were not being converted to uppercase before they were stored for transmission. The server backend is coded to be very picky about what it sends out so it rejected the messages. I've fixed the bug and callsigns can be given in upper or lower case from the APRS messaging window and they will be accepted and transmitted correctly.
