After reading the article in Kitplanes by Sam Buchanan, I got interested in
this system. (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_Position_Reporting_System)
A buddy had a license so we installed the equipment ($300) and have been
trying it out. I was so pleased with the results that I took the test for a
Technician class ham license and now have my own call sign and moved the
transmitter to my aircraft. Pretty neat. You can log onto the internet and
see the location in real time.
