[aprssig] Redundant IOTA

Wed Sep 21 22:10:45 UTC 2011

Please be advise that 9Z4FZ-10 is a very active IOTA station.

Trinidad and Tobago is an Island, we have APRs stations with a variety of
symbols as to reflect their true and correct operation on APRs both via
igate and RF only, it is imperative that we have an IOTA APRS station to
reflect that we are an island.

9Y4 / 9Z land use APRs as a mean of real time tactical communication it is
one of our main mode of communication, not for tracking but real time
communication

Should have put this in the original e-mail:

(A screen shot of the IOTA stations across the world including 9W2PUM,
TANGIER, N4RZB, ASSATEAGU, SMITH, CHINCO, KD4LXB-5, NP2IJ, XF4, AVES IS,
9Z4FZ-10, and TK5GF-10 just in case the image doesn't make it through.

From the new http://www.aprs.org/symbols/symbols-new.txt 

I; = Islands on the air 

Are we attempting to retire up a primary table space (/i) or just being
redundant and introduction confusion when trying to identify IOTAs? 

My full feed APRSIS32 monitor shows 12 IOTA (/i) symbol stations active
within the past 2 hours, so the symbol is being used, although I don't know
if they're true activations or just people that like the island symbol.
