pr2gpx

Converts Winlink position reports sent or received with Airmail into GPX tracks or waypoints.

It understands:

sent position reports (Window->Winlink-2000->Position Report)
reports requested for specific stations (Window->Winlink-2000->Position Request)
lists of nearby stations (Window->Catalogs->WL2K->Global->WL2K_USERS->WL2K_NEARBY)

pr2gpx scans a directory for files containing position reports in various formats. It can filter them to include only stations with a given callsign, and limit the results to the last N reports per station.

The output is either one track for each station, a list of waypoints for every position report, or both.

This can either be saved into a single file containing everything, or it can be split into one file for each station.
