>> APRS now has a global CQ function that will allow any
>> APRS station in the field, to call CQ to all other
>> similar stations all over the world.

>> APRS is a two-way tactical real-time communications

>> one of the regular HF JOTA stations.
>>
>> This year, a system called CQSRVR has been written by
>> Pete, AE5PL, which will receive logons from field
>> stations and turn around and send out those CQ's to
>> all other SCOUTS stations.  When they see these, then
>> they can do the normal APRS messaging between
>> individual stations anwhere on the globe that is in
>> range of an Igate.
>>
>> See the web page:
>> http://www.ew.usna.edu/~bruninga/aprsjota.html
>>
>> It is operational now so you can practice.  Just
>> send an APRS message to CQSRVR and include the
>> two keywords CQ SCOUTS as the first two words at
>> the start of your message.  Usually you follow
>> that with a second CQ SCOUTS which will actually
>> get delivered to all other similar stations.
>>
>> To help you remember that a SPACE is required after
>> the first CQ SCOUTS and no other delimiters, it is
>> best to just send CQ SCOUTS CQ SCOUTS followed by
>> whatever text you want all other scout stations to see.
>>
>> CQ SCOUTS CQ SCOUTS from Annapolis, Maryland, USA
>>
>> Hopefully, all other SCOUT stations will see your
>> message and will respond to your actual call to
>> make the contact.
>>
>> Good luck!
