Where am I? If you click on the map the direction and distance from me to the mouse click will be shown in the status bar of your browser. Alternatly, you could try to find me embedded in all the icons on the map. Either of these techniques require that you wait until my beacon has been loaded onto the page (time for a cup of coffee).
Of course all of this will depend quite strongly on whether I'm within range of an APRS station. My transmitter power is a measly 5 Watts so my range is quite limited. Also this will obviously fail completely if my beacon is off.
My call sign is KF6WXN and my icon (during RT99) is a motorcycle.

This applet was supplied by the kind folks at aprs.net where you may also find a wealth of information on APRS.
