A friend of mine became a ham specifically because of APRS and what he
had hoped to be able to do with APRS. And that is to monitor small
creeks where he likes to go kayaking that do not have a USGS water
station installed. He wanted to make his own unit and just temporally
install it in the portion of creek he wants to know about. When the
level is right, take off early from work and hit the water! so will
this thing work in a creek environment and do what he wants it to do?
