The ability to have real time tracking on units on the crenn and send them
messages has come up in NWS this past meeting and they wanted to have a
setup that they could overlay the radar image with the units in the field.
"Already there with aprs." Was my reply, and a demo of APRS and the ability
to pull NWS radar info off the web and they are in the proces of getting
aprs into the office. I di agree that packet is the way to get lists and the
like into the right hands but we run into the problem that having mountains
and the like we have to know the right path to get to the point to point
sites that we have. I am a firm beliver that 1500W of power while not
praticle is not the solution as well. We have had some experiments of
sending traffic through the system in the NTS form and that has worked with
some limited success.
There are I have a feeling going to be improvments in the area of sending
APRS text in the form of messages through the system as we keep updating the
system.
Just the opinion of a ham for ten years come the 5th

Gentlemen,
You all have brought up some really good points, and our Digital Group here
in Lansing needs to determine a more defined approach to using APRS for
S.E.T.'s. We need some ideas/guidelines for setting up the EOC for APRS
functionality.
You all have brought my mind into prospective about the uses of APRS, but I
still think that the messages should be short and as with any
frequency(used by many hams at times), a contact is made and then the two
stations should move to another little used freq. to hold a discussion.
Especially with the digital modes, traffic gets thick, and connections slow
down...
Thanks for setting me straight, and I would like to know more about setting
an APRS station up in the EOC, and ideas on training general ham operators
to work with skywarn nets and emergency nets. There must be a lot of ways
you guys get info from the screen into reports and "after action" reports.
Also, reading the locations and sending info to the National Weather
Service, for instance rain and snow reports.
Thanks again,
73 de w8tcc, troy

Just a reminder.... as spring and summer get here, and there are more events
like MS bike races, hangglider contests, etc... I have created a calendar on
my web site where events can be logged.
