[aprssig] Announcing - https://how.aprs.works

[Jeff Hochberg]

If I may make a request, please use the Contact Us form on the APRS
Foundation website to reply to the Foundation rather than sending unicast
messages.

https://www.aprsfoundation.org/contact-us/

I end up sharing everything I receive with the rest of the leadership team,
so using the Contact Us form ensures we all receive your responses. It
helps save a step and allows us to track things better.

You can also reply to aprssig. That way, everyone can see what you're
suggesting!

We're looking at rolling out a more formal system for tracking interest,
projects, enhancements, etc. in the not-so-distant future. More to come on
that!

Thanks so much!
