Need Test Data

I have a pet project in the works that connects to the real-time packet stream. Since I am only interested in aircraft data, I have filtered the data to only those packets using the ' symbol (which represents aircraft according to the APRS spec). I have been able to successfully track some aircraft in the past couple of days, but I am surprised at the scarcity of packets. So far I haven't seen a single RV.

Could someone with an APRS transmitter let me know when you plan to take off next? I'd like to verify that your packets are being picked up by my program. Let me know what call sign you are using and I'll cross reference the packets I am receiving with the tracking data on aprs.fi.

By the way, I have no idea where this pet project is going. I'm just playing.

Thanks!
 
Found an RV!

Ah HAH! Dave Parsons, I gotcha on my radar! :)

Started getting packets from the Seattle area. There was no N number, but a quick search of the call sign KE7SNS revealed it's our own Dave Parsons.

Looks like I'm getting the data I need. Thanks.
