systemd Unit Files to Check into the #APRSThursday Net

These files will let you check into the #APRSThursday net via APRS-IS automatically.

Installation

  1. Install PowerShell 7.4 or newer on your Linux computer.
  2. Edit the Send-APRSThursdayCheckin.ps1 file. Type your callsign in the From string, and optionally edit the check-in message.
  3. Run ./install.sh. That will install the required files, adjust file permissions, and enable the systemd timer.

When It Runs

The systemd timer will run sometime between 00:00 UTC and 23:01 UTC. When it runs, it will install or update my APRSMessenger module from PowerShell Gallery. Then, it will send an APRS message, checking you in.

Complaints

Linux purists have multiple reasons to hate this code. However, feel free to submit issues and pull requests.
