====== Adding APRS locations to beacons ======


N6CTA suggests this format for beacons (via Matrix):
<code>=3405.20N/11748.25WB-0/R -1/B -4/C -5/IRC -7/N DM14cc FARPN</code>

> This bit is an uncompressed APRS compatible location and APRS icon for a BBS (N6CTA, Matrix).
> The "!" and "=" at the front have different meanings as well, per the spec, whether or not you can receive APRS messages (VE3QBZ, Matrix). 

''!'' means no APRS messaging, ''='' means APRS-message-capable ([[http://aprs.net/vm/DOS/PROTOCOL.HTM|ref]]).

<code>=3405.20N/11748.25WB</code> 

Latitude and longitude coordinates can be converted to the right format using the tool by NA7Q at https://aprs.wiki/converter/.

The rest tells you what SSIDs lead to a particular service (N6CTA, Matrix).
<code>0/R -1/B -4/C -5/IRC -7/N DM14cc FARPN</code>
