Great!  Thanks very much!  I have friends that will be trying it out.

Not a problem; I'll redistribute it from my site if that's ok so you
won't have to worry about the downloads affecting your server.

CL> Just out of curiosity, what is this plugin and what does it do?

APRS is a Ham-radio location beaconing system.  You'll find technical
descriptions of it on wikipedia (or elsewhere).  Here's a screen shot of
the bay-area in California:

This version doesn't show icons, which the plugin will also draw if you
have some available (but we have no copyright-acceptable ones to
distribute with the base at this point).
