I apologize to... well, everyone. I know I suggested last night, but I had way too much to do and couldn't make time for the net. Even worse, I didn't have a chance to mention it in this thread. Sorry, gang.

so I have been playing around with APRS and I bought a small 10 watt handheld and I connected it to a magnetic antenna on my VW.... with the app APRSdroid and a small TNC I was able to hit the shepard peak I-Gate from Evanston! then not again until I hit just before Croyden on I-84.
This is pretty fun and to send messages while on APRS is great! I see allot of applications for APRS.

seeing I work in Evanston and there is no digipeater or I-gate there I looked to see what it would take to build my own. I found this video where you can take a baufeng radio, raspberry PI and a software defined radio and build your own. So seeing I have the radio already I bought the rest for lest then $80 off amazon. I will be building this and playing with it once completed. It can be made portable with a few batteries and an ammo can and solar panel.

I haven't used my radio in a while. Anybody still doing this? I need to brush up on my skills...
I ripped my radio out of my truck when I sold it..... only to unsell it about an hour after removing..... nope not bitter
