General Meeting – September 2025 – APRS What, Why & How

Please join RWK on Monday September 8th for our General Meeting. 

This month we will be talking all about APRS (the Automatic Packet Reporting System).  Andy Smolenski KI5YLX from over at Metrocrest (MARS) will be here to tell (remind?) us about APRS, what it is (and has become), why it is still a popular method of ham communications, and how to get started if you’ve never used it before (or even if you have and forgotten how).  APRS has been around for many years, but it’s got some new tricks up its sleeve and is easier than ever to use (no nasty hardware TNCs needed) and there are more radios today with built-in APRS than ever before.  There are even some cheap Chinese radios that are a self-contained solution.  So come reacquaint yourself with an “old” mode.
