Steve K4HG added RSS feeds to findU
More information is at
http://rss.findu.com/
Although pitched to Mac users at this URL, the three RSS feeds explained on this page were each pasted here in a separate box on a Google personalized web page, and this system works very well to announce APRS warningss, one line messages to either my home or mobile station, and nearby APRS stations.
I am using an Internet Explorer browser to open on my Google custom pages.
Here is the actual URL I am using for the RSS feeds.
http://rss.findu.com/warn.cgi?call=KC6VVT&max=100
http://rss.findu.com/msg.cgi?call=KC6VVT*
http://rss.findu.com/near.cgi?call=KC6VVT&distance=50
If gated to the Internet, these messages are easily accessible from my home computer, so it is like having an extra receive terminal in addition to my home APRS terminal.
Enjoy APRS! Signed Pat Ryan KC6VVT
