APRS-XO

[acidfree:173 align=left] WB4APR posted to AMSAT-BB news about APRS-XO , an Activity written by KG4GJY that provides an APRS (Automatic Position Reporting System) implementation on the OLPC laptop . I got the owner of our XO to agree to install it and we managed very easily. Sending took some passcode research, but once that was done N1AIA appeared on findu.com . It's a start, but I'd rather use RF than the Internet for future position reports.

But she goes on to compare the experience to "the excitement pirates must have felt following a treasure map."
