<p dir="ltr">Hi Steve,<br>
A "DM" in Twitter stands for Direct Message- when you normally post a tweet, it goes out on your Twitter feed where everyone (esp those following you ) can see it. If you send a DM, or goes right to the other person, bypassing your public feed.</p>

Not knowing what a Twitter "DM" is, can you explain where he says:<br>
" You can send APRS messages out like DMs on Twitter (i.e. d n7ice test message).<br>
<br>
I didn't find a clarification. Does this mean you can send an APRS message *from* the site to RF?<br>
<br>
For the other direction, he has a how-to video Episode 69 in his HamBrief Videos.<br>
