# mqtt-aprs
Connects to the specified APRS-IS server, and posts the APRS output to MQTT.  Can parse parameters, or dump the raw JSON from aprslib.  It's currently for receive only from APRS-IS and sending to an MQTT server.

This script uses the aprslib, https://github.com/rossengeorgiev/aprs-python, to do the heavy APRS lifting.
