[Troop139] Something Cool: APRS & DPRS

[J.Gordon Beattie, Jr., W2TTT]

Hi Folks!
Something cool that I have in my Amateur Radio kit: a radio that sends my
position and supplemental data when I am going about my business.  It is
based on APRS (Amateur Packet Reporting System) and DPRS (D-Star Packet
Reporting System).  You can look up those terms on Google for more
information and we can discuss them anytime.

 

The tracking web site is:

&mt=roadmap&z=11&timerange=21600&_s=ss_call

 

I've included a sample map image and you can see that I am up in camp Alpine
as I am writing this.  

BTW:  All the flags were retired today with no problems.

 

See you tomorrow night at 7:00PM!

 



 

 

Thanks & 73,

Gordon Beattie, W2TTT
