NOTE: Depending on the state of the internet and of the APRS
Severs, position reports may be some time behind real time reporting as seen
over the airwaves. Depending on individual station setup parameters, the
station may not be seen by the APRS server, or if the station is
closed down (mobile/base) it will not be seen after a set time. Mobile
stations may not be in range of another APRS station to rebroadcast their
position reports.
