[Xastir] Today's activities

[Gerry Creager N5JXS]

Just for fun, you might want to snag the track for n5jxs-8 from FindU. 
This afternoon, WB5BBW and I loaded up 3 PC's (1 Windows, 2 Linux) and 
set off to do some testing.  I was tracking and linked into the network 
using a Sierra Wireless AirNet 550 1xRTT card; Kurt was doing large-file 
transfers (800k-10M) using similar hardware, under Windows and Linux.

While I was driving between Conroe and Huntsville, TX, on Interstate 45, 
I did a CVS update, and compiled, installed and restarted xastir.  To 
the latest CVS.

Curt, the redraw stuff is cool.

All the while, we were following our progress on the local GPS attached 
via serial port.  And viewing the results using Tigermaps with all the 
bells and whistles turned on.

It was pretty cool.

For those interested, the typical FTP transfer rate was 8-8.5 
kBytes/sec, or, 60-75 kbits/sec per card...
