Amateur Packet Reporting System (APRS) operations often require compact, reliable solutions for transmitting position data, particularly for mobile or portable stations. This resource details the construction of the _Tiny Track-I_, a transmit-only APRS tracker designed for straightforward integration with a VHF radio and a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver. It enables hams to broadcast their location without the complexity of a full-duplex TNC. The project outlines the printed circuit board (PCB) layout and schematic, based on an original design by N6BG, with a personal PCB drawing by SV1BSX. It includes specific component placement and notes an additional 10uF/10V capacitor (C5) for improved IC voltage decoupling, a modification not present in the original N6BG diagram. The unit connects to a computer or GPS via a DB9 female connector. This tracker is ideal for basic position reporting, offering a simple and effective way to participate in APRS networks. Its small footprint makes it suitable for vehicle installations or field deployments where space is limited, providing a **reliable 9600 baud** data stream for location updates.

The **Luis Trenker Award** is an amateur radio operating award established by the Amateur Radio Club Ladinia to honor the director and author Luis Trenker from Val Gardena, South Tyrol, Italy. To qualify for the award, HF stations must achieve five confirmed QSOs with each of five specific Alpine countries: Italy (with specific prefixes like I1, IK1, I2, I3, IN3, IW3, IV3), France, Germany (with DOKs A, C, T, U), Switzerland or Liechtenstein, and Austria (with prefixes OE2, OE3, OE6, OE7, OE8, OE9). A single QSO with a member of the Amateur Radio Club Ladinia can substitute for the five required Italian QSOs, with members' QSL cards bearing a special rubber stamp. VHF/UHF stations have a simpler requirement, needing only one confirmed QSO with each of the five Alpine countries. SWL stations are eligible under the same conditions as transmitting stations. All contacts must be valid after April 12, 1990. Applicants must submit a list of contacts, certified by two OMs or a club, to the Amateur Radio Club Ladinia in Ortisei, South Tyrol, Italy. The award manager is IN3PGS Karlheinz, and the club official is IW3AQL Luca.
