About This APRS Map

APRS is a digital system hams use to send short data packets over VHF. This display shows only stations whose packets are being heard on 144.390 MHz by the Rock Springs area network.

Each icon represents a packet recently received on frequency—mobile trackers, fixed stations, weather nodes, and other APRS activity reaching our local digipeaters.

  • Live packets heard in the Rock Springs area
  • Stations successfully getting into the frequency
  • General reach of local UHF/VHF coverage

It’s a quick look at how well signals are getting in and who’s active on the air.

Amateur Radio

Folks wishing to get involved with Amateur Radio shouldn’t be afraid, however find that they are truly passionate about wanting to learn more about the hobby. It has been a well known statement that having an Amateur Radio License is a license to learn.

Amateur Radio Operators are individuals that have been licensed with the FCC to operate on specific Radio Frequencies. The term Amateur in this title means that no operator shall be paid for their services rather we are all volunteers.

To get started, come to the next in person meeting. Showing up to meetings is beneficials for multiple reasons, first of which is to see if there are any trainings that can help you through the certifications. Being at the meeting will not only show that you are an active member, but will allow others to see your capabilities so they know who to call upon in the event of an emergency.

This is obtained by passing a test, there are few different licensing levels, first level being a technician license. Each license class authorizes the operator to have more privileges. Under the FCC Rules 47 C.F.R, Part 97, you can find the full details.
