Has anyone been able to get an acknowlegement for this type of "one line" email via APRS from here in NIAN range?
Do not know if the gates and servers nearby are allowing this use, or may have to change my path, as out of range.......but here is how it works everywhere else that I have traveled.
==============
Send EMAIL via APRS
You can send internet EMAIL from an APRS station to any email account. This may be of particular interest to mobiles with APRS running, or TH-D7A or TM-D700 radios that can process APRS one-liner formatted messages.
To send email, start the APRS message send window. In the destination field, where you would normally just enter the recipient's callsign, you type in EMAIL, all in caps, as indicated.
In the body of the message, you first type the intended recipient's email address, then leave a blank space, then begin typing the message. When done typing, click on SEND to get the message on its way.
You must be w/i range of an internet gate in order for the message to continue on via the internet. The message is routed by APRSERV to the mail server in New Jersey, where it is reformatted into a internet email message, and then sent.
You should receive an acknowledgement from the New Jersey email server, over the air. If you get this, you can count on your message getting onto the internet, and on its way to the recipient.

During the past couple days, Email via APRS has been brought up on both the Ui-View reflector and the APRS-Sig. A couple of alternatives were mentioned.
One being an alternative mail server already in place. Instead of entering EMAIL as the receipinat, use EMAIL-LU. Continue using the same format as the orignal server, placing the email address as the fisrts string of text and leave a blank space between the address and the message text.
Another method was just posted yesterday. Very interesting. I haven't tried it yet but here is a link describing concept and use.

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and best to you in the coming New Year!

Note that APRSLink requires the I-Gates to allow traffic from KLNK-1 to pass from Internet to VHF Radio so there is two-way communications.
Took me a couple of tries to get the syntax right, and testing again from the fixed station (KC6VVT) and the mobile (KC6VVT-14) so I know if it will work in the emergency.
See APRSLink posted earlier, or

Be sure to send out an APRS position beacon first!
