Pending more pleasant weather for mountain climbing, I was wondering if any fellow adventurist amateur radio ops would be interested in hiking up to the highest point in North Bay, which is apparently located in Widdifield Forest Provincial Park. 46°27'9.42"N 79°19'4.56"W
460 m or 1,510 ft
Got this new portable radio with APRS feature and not sure how to use it. When I tune the radio to 144.390 it sounds like a modem is training but there is no station info? My radio is a Yaesu VX-8R. Any tips or info would be appreciated.
