Posted by W8JKC on July 27th, 2008

I am now officially making these image scripts available for public use. Simply go to http://www.w8jkc.com/copythis.php?q=1 to find out how to add them.

Congratulations to Rich Marcum #27 on wining the Late Model Feature at Midvale Speedway!

It was an extremely close race, and he stayed in front after passing from 2nd place in the 3rd lap.

Internet Connection Upgraded

Posted by W8JKC on July 11th, 2008

I talked to AT&T today regarding some long distance charges on my bill, and they offered me an upgrade to my current DSL connection from 3 MB Downstream to this: Downstream Speed: Up to 6.0 Mbps
Upstream Speed: Up to 768 Kbps for just a few dollars more than I was paying before.

Users to this site, and other ones that I host should notice an increase in speed and transfer rates.

APRS

Posted by W8JKC on July 11th, 2008

I am currently working on an APRS tracker setup for my truck.

APRS or Automatic Position Reporting System can be used to send position reports if conected to a GPS receiver, messages to other APRS users, short 1 line emails to anyone, or even looking up another ham\’s callsign on qrz.com.

This setup will be running off of my laptop with an external GPS receiver and a USB to RS232 convertor with UI-VIEW32 and AGWPE.

Stay tuned for updates and even a new page with a map of my current position.
