Use of HF transceiver to call CQ and contact to hams around the world via ionosphere will never lose
its appeal. But there is elegance in being able to communicate with only an FM transceiver and by
adopting the latest technology.
The global network consisting of thousands or even millions of stations will only get more interesting
as it evolves with new ideas as a result of those like you becoming involved. Isn’t it exciting just to
think about? Everywhere even in such other country, there are hams all over waiting to be contacted!
Once you begin sending a radio signal, you can communicate with a myriad of other radio amateurs
via the network.
Besides, this global network evolves further as each of us adds our ideas.
In APRS, information on local events and weather conditions are distributed and even amateur
satellites orbiting around the earth also transmit positional data. Also, in APRS, not only can you
know where your acquaintance is currently located on the earth, but you can even send them an
APRS message from your radio or PC. You can send email directly to them or take advantage of
EchoLink node numbers to make direct voice contact.
Combining the different technologies adds to and enhances your communications versatility and
makes you a part of the communicating world.
