Adding AIS station location with AIS-catcher

[KF0LIH - Brad]

My station location is not shared with aprs.fi with the AIS-catcher software I'm using.   Is there a JSON formatted message that would allow me to POST manually the location of my AIS receiving station?   My station is KF0LIH.

Thanks in advance,

Brad - KF0LIH

Hi,

There's no API for that. The guide for AIS feeding at
https://aprs.fi/page/ais_feeding does spell out a procedure to place the
station on the map (Step-by-step instructions, step 8), but that's
unfortunately not working right now, because the marker placement /
context menu is bugging on the Leaflet map. I'll look into it.
