[aprssig] Rocket Tracking

[wa7skg]

I recently met a new ham who got her ham license because she is into 
model rockets. She does the large scale ones that go thousands of feet 
high. They have tracking and telemetry systems on board. However, she 
doesn't know what it uses, just that it is ham radio. She wants to get a 
handheld radio that will track her rocket. I'm going to guess this is 
APRS. Anybody familiar with this? Any recommendations of what she should 
get for a radio?

Thanks.
