The Seminole Texas Amateur Radio Club (STARC) aims to provide a number of online resources to it’s members. Users should take all precautions when visiting a website, even if it is known to the user as being safe. A compromised server can lead to the remote installation of malware and/or the release of private information. Even the best of websites can be compromised, in the event this happens personal information may be exposed. For this purpose it is highly recommended that users assign a unique password to each website they visit and maintain anti-malware software on their computers.
APRS is a very useful tool in amateur radio. APRS stands for Automatic Packet Reporting System and was created by Bob Bruninga WB4APR (Silent Key).
- APRS.org: This was Bob Bruninga’s website and an extremely valuable resource for someone getting started in APRS or someone wanting to deep dive and learn all there is to know about the system.
- APRS.fi: APRS.fi is a live map showing APRS data, as well as data from the national weather service, and other entities.
