Is it just me or is traffic in this area lessening? I've been watching MXQ-15's web server and the numbers keep dropping...

As I type this there are only 5 RF stations in the list, but over 1500 on the TCP/IP side...

Are we having another downward trend in the area, or is APRS finally going away?

I can't say I agree Gene. My RF station count right this moment is over 112.. I do connect to the internet but only for the NWS messages...

For you up and out farther, it could be lessonong somewhat.. Not sure why..

Sometimes lately I've seen station count as high as 150+ with propagation up somewhat..

It seems that double digits or less are the norm out here.. Mainly since KA9VNV's digi went down. These are the stations heard on rf right now

Code:
There are 14 callsigns in the list, click a callsign to get an information page for that station
