[aprssig] APRS on boats..now AIS

[joe at dellabarba.com]

I shouldn't be hard to find - I am on my mooring right where APRS says I am. No
flag up when I'm not there though.
I'll be back there Sunday to do RC work for the Comet races.
BTW:
Anyone interested in APRS needs to study AIS, DSC, and ADS-B. I think APRS is
the father of all of those. Kind of like how hams were making phone calls on VHF
and UHF frequencies using hand-held devices connecting to nearby "towers" for
what - a couple of decades before cell phones? I was also sending email by radio
a LONG time before the Blackberry was even though of hi hi
