I have been approached to make a 45-50 minute presentation at this
year's New Hampshire ARES Academy on using APRS to support public
service events. I'd like some specific examples and details from
this august body of how they have used APRS in such events. Also,
how it was done. For example, did each ham have to provide his or
her own APRS gear or did the group (i.e. the radio club) have it in
part or in total? What APRS software was used?<br>
<br>
I am familiar with using the tracking feature (sorry, Dr. Bruninga)
for keeping track of the support vehicles during long bike rides so
I'd like examples of other uses. Or even variations of using the
position reporting.<br>
<br>
What challenges did you face in using APRS? Was there sufficient
permanent infrastructure in place or did you have to augment it?<br>
<br>
Any other thoughts?<br>
