Inviting proposed standard messages for the next APRS Satelltie:

Our next QIKCOM-2 APRS satellite will accept 2 digit uplink DTMF messages to be spoken on the downlink. We have already programmed all of the ARRL standard radio grams and emergency messages.

But there is room for more. So think.... What kind of message would you want to send (that is not included in the existing ones) from your HT out in the wilderness. At a hamfest? or any other HAM Radio event or opportunity. Keep them simple and of the same order of length as the existing ones.

The existing ones are listed here: http://nts.ema.arrl.org/node/30

But the implementation cannot include blanks for fill-in like the regular ones. But any sentence that stands alone can work.

Just thought I'd open it up. Plenty of RAM and only 1 week before delivery...

Serious considerations only. Thanks
