Here are some KML files for mapping some interesting live ham radio information.

APRS: current locations and tracks of APRS stations, APRS objects, and weather stations.  Visit http://aprs.fi and log in with your callsign (no password needed).  Configure the options if you like (probably want Fahrenheit degrees, for instance).  Click on the "Google Earth KML" link on the right hand column near the bottom, which will create a file "aprs.kml" and save it to your desktop.  Open that file in Google Earth.  Or you can download http://www.seattleacs.com/scripts/aprs.kml directly to your computer, preconfigured for Seattle.

IRLP: current status and location of IRLP nodes, also showing which links are connected. Download this file and open it in Google Earth: http://www.irlp.net/setup-irlp.kml

EchoLink system: current status and location of EchoLink enabled repeaters, simplex nodes, and computer nodes.  Download this file and open it in Google Earth: http://www.echolink.org/node_location.kmz

Here are the net control stations for May 2008.

Thank you all for your participation.

* This is the Network Test Net and will be conducted from the EOC.  If anyone has an interest in doing this net and would like to come to the EOC and shadow the NCS, contact Mark, W7WMH, the net control for that night.

Seattle ACS will participate in ARRL Field Day, June 27-29, 2008.  Our site will be South Seattle Community College.
