I donno, my primary use of text messaging is RECEIVEING and
displaying the information on my head's up dissplay.  I get
notices, info, activitites, meeting announcemnets, satellites in
view, local repeater frequencies, local IRLP and Echolink
frequencies, and just about anything I need to know anywhere in
ham radio right there on my dashboard within my driving line of
sight.

TO me, that works DARN well.

And it is locally RELEVANT no matter where I am traveling.
