<p class="MsoNormal">Don’t forget, you can call CQ to
every other APRS Field Day site in the country using
Pete’s CQSRVR (or Lynn’s ANSRVR).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sitting there at your portable FD
APRS station, reach out to the world.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">STEP 1: Just send an APRS message
to CQSRVR and make the first two words of the message be
“CQ FD …” and your exchange.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Your message will go to every other
APRS FD site that has also sent such a message.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But like any band, calling CQ is
usless unless someone answers.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">STEP 2: When you see similar CQ’s
from other APRS stations, now you have their callsign!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">STEP 3: MAKE the QSO by now sending a
specific MESSAGE to their CALLSIGN acknowledging their
exchange info.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">STEP 4: When you see an ACK, the QSO
is complete.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">These contacts do NOT COUNT for FD
points. But heck, it is fun, and what else is APRS for
but fun and showing off.</p>
