All APRS:
Watch for messages to and from Jamboree-on-the-AIR Saturday.
Join the fun, and send a national CQ on APRS using AA5PL's
CQSRVR.
>From RF to RF everywhere for messages!
Just send a msg to CQSRVR with the following message text:
CQ SCOUTS CQ SCOUTS
And your message will go out to all other stations that have
previously send such a message to the CQSRVR... And for the
next 24 hours, you will receive any similar such messages.
This Saturday is a great time to test your two-way message
capability. You don't have to be a scout. Just send your CQ
SCOUTS CQ SCOUTS message to the CQSRVR and you can QSO
everyone...
