APRSPH and #APRSThursday nets
Posted: Mon Aug 28, 2023 6:27 am
I know there has been some discussion about FM APRS in light of the firmware having experimental support. I'm aware it does not support messaging (yet?) but perhaps some of us here are also into APRS. For those with APRS-enabled radios or desktop/smartphone applications, I am inviting you to join two of the nets that I am active in:
APRSPH - https://aprsph.net
This is a daily net, wherein all traffic is relayed to stations checked in, as well as logged on the above website. The instructions for joining are also on the website. Checkins can be done via FM APRS, DMR APRS, or even through apps that directly connect to APRS-IS (internet) like APRSdroid. I am the net manager, and I also customized the script that handles the bot responses and net logging.
This is a small net, with around 10 or less checkins per day (most checkins was 24 during an active APRSThursday). But it's fun, and can be used for chatting on APRS messages.
#APRSThursday - https://aprsph.net/aprsthursday
This net happens every 0000Z to 2359Z every Thursday. This one is managed by KC8OWL, but I do support it by automating logging on my own app. Instructions for joining are also on the website, and this one is handled by ANSRVR (developed by KJ4ERJ).\
This is usually a bigger net with around 400+ checkins per day. It somewhat "burns up" the airwaves during APRS thursdays, but it has helped developers and sysops with rooting out some issues with improperly configured software. It has also introduced me to a lot of other APRS enthusiasts across the globe.
I look forward to seeing you on the nets!
