SB QST ARL ARLB031
ARLB031 Second Precision Emergency Automated Position Reporting 
system test set

The Air Force Research Lab, Rome (New York) Research Site, is
conducting an experiment using Amateur Radio operators as an
auxiliary line of defense against aircraft disasters. The Precision
Emergency Automated Position Reporting System (PEAPRS) test is being
carried out in conjunction with the annual Team Patriot exercise.
The ARRL is co-sponsoring the test.

The first of two aircraft flights this week occurred June 4, and a
second will take place on or before June 8. The aircraft will
transmit an APRS distress message on 144.39 MHz, using the call sign
WA2ZXS. Amateurs receiving the message are requested to e-mail
peaprs@rl.af.mil detailing the time, characteristics of the message
received and the method they used for reception--whether direct, via
digipeater, via wide relay, the Internet or other means.

Those lacking e-mail capability may participate by calling their
observation info into the PEAPRS Command Center at 315-330-7444.

The exercise will attempt to measure the timeliness and accuracy of
the amateur reports received. Participating amateurs will qualify
for a special certificate from ARRL recognizing their efforts.

_______________________________________________________________

These are five closely related message base areas, on the Intenet, that =
may be of interest to you.

NY_RACES, NY_ARES, and NY_SKYWARN are areas where RACES, ARES and/or =
SKYWARN members, Radio Officers, coordinators, and interested parties, =
in New York State, can meet to share ideas, discuss training, and =
basically pass along their experiences and ideas.  I would like to see =
all members interested in these areas, in the State of New York, present =
on these message bases.  What we could learn........would be staggering.
 To join NY_RACES - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NY_RACES/join
 To join NY_ARES - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NY_ARES/join
 To join NY_SKYWARN - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NY_SKYWARN/join

These next two message base areas were created 15 years ago on the =
Fidonet BBS Network  Which, with the advent of the Internet, has fallen =
to disuse.  So I have moved them to the Internet.

SCANRADIO was created by me, to give those users in the FidoNet =
shortwave message base,  a place to meet, their own area. =20
Without having to "weed through" all of those shortwave messages which =
were of no interest to them.  To discuss the type of equipment they own, =
and repairs available for their technical problems.  ALL items related =
to Scanner Radios are discussed.   I moved the area to the Internet, and =
the problem still exists. =20
 To join SCANRADIO - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SCANRADIO/join

HamTech was created by another user on the FidoNet, and was passed to me =
when he realized he had no time to moderate it.
It is basically an area where discussions are made on the technical pros =
and cons of ham radio, and questions are asked of the members when a =
problem arises.  Experiences are discussed, about one radio or another, =
an antenna installation, etc. and when a problem is found, the possible =
solutions. =20
 To join HamTech - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HamTech/join

I hope these message base areas are of use to you and if so, please pass =
this information on to others you believe would benefit from the =
information in these areas.

ENJOY!!=20
