ZL1KW-*

ZL1KW callsign uses several SSID's to beacon - Repeaters as Published by NZART directly to the APRS Servers.

This is done with Direwolf.

The purpose to to provide another way for Amateur operators to quickly obtain repeater information.

There are many Apps available now like APRSDroid where you can simply look at the APRS objects around you.

The same goes for web sites like APRS.fi

A lot of repeaters are not beaconed locally and therefore do not show in APRS Apps or Website Maps

The Data is from the Current Call book Maps - And reflects the Repeater Licenses at the time of publishing

Therefore it is important to check locally - for the actual current status of the Repeater

i.e. is it currently operational & still licensed etc.

ZL1KW -2>9 SSID's are used to break the Beacons into areas such as:

National System North Island

National System South Island

2m Repeaters North Top

2m Repeaters South Top

2m Repeaters North Bot
