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.
