      All,

      I woke up at 0200 this morning, couldn’t get back to sleep and so got up and got with it at 0300.  I decided that I was going to freshen some of the content on our site, do some updating of pages, reorganize some of it, etc.  One piece I was exited to be able to post was APRS on the Cheap? Maybe! reference the Baofeng 5RH PRO with GPS and APRS.  Literally as I was writing it Jerry emailed me Using APRS to Communicate Beyond a Disaster Zone by Wayne Greene (KB4DSF) from this months ARRL On The Air (September/October 2025).  It is a super writeup and explains some ways that APRS can be utilized in an emergency comms situation.  I urge you to give it a read!
