[nrv-hams] Presentation on APRS for NRVARC

[Russ Abbey]

Please keep us all informed! I for one would love to learn a lot more then
I know about APRS, Echo Link, and IRLP.  While I have "dabbled" in all 3 of
them, I don't know a lot.  If anyone is interested, you can go
here<http://www.aprs.org/>to APRS.org to read up on some fine
articles.  There is also a Yahoo group
for not only APRS, but for all of the trackers out there.  If you can
solder a little, the Following links will bring you to a couple of places
that I have used before  and are good kits.
Argent Data, the open tracker <http://www.argentdata.com/>
Byonics, home of the Tiny Track 3&4& others. <http://www.byonics.com/>
Tiny Track Wiki <http://vk7hse.hobby-site.org/wiki/index.php/Tinytrak4v7>
Fund U a place to find yourself. <http://www.findu.com/>
Echo Link <http://echolink.org/>
Is a VoiceOverIinternetProtocall or radio and VOIP, also you can use it
with your computer to make contacts around the world without a radio.
IRLP which is a VOIP system <http://www.irlp.net/> which is kinda like Echo
Link, but you have to use a radio for access.
