ARLA/CLUSTER: APRS para o JOTA, em todo o lugar! por Bob Bruninga WB4APR

APRS for JOTA, Everywhere!

Bob Bruninga WB4APR explains how you can use your APRS radio for
global contacts at your JOTA station this weekend

You can use your APRS radio or HT to text message a CQ to all other
JOTA stations with an APRS radio anywhere in the world. You need to
remember nothing about the network, or paths, or freqs or do any set
up. Just use the normal APRS frequency.

Just send an APRS message to ANSRVR and make the first two words of
the message be CQ JOTA .

Your message will be delivered instantly to every other JOTA station
in the world * that has also sent a similar ANSRVR message*.

Example:  Message to ANSRVR:  CQ JOTA fm Four Rivers Dist, MD

This Logs you into the ANSRVR which forwards the message to every
other similar station instantly.

NOTE.  This is just a way of calling a global CQ.  You should answer
any incoming such message with a direct response to the CALLSIGN of
the sending station, not to ANSRVR.  ANSRVR is a group ANOUNCEMENT
SERVER that lets you see the callsigns of everyone else that is
playing.  After you see the callsigns, from then on, you use normal
one-on-one messages with that station to complete the contact.

ANSRVR replaces the original CQSRVR because CQSRVR ignores stations
using tactical callsigns and therefore impractical for general use
where some stations may have tactical calls.
