Charlie WA2GUG, EC Queens and Russ KC2LSB, DEC NYC ARES held their "Packet Radio, What you can do with it" seminar. Mike W2SWR's seminar was a detailed introduction to the FlexNet network. John, KB2SCS, EC/RO Islip and NLI's DEC for Digital discussed the Ecomms Packet SOP. Opening comments to the seminar from our Section Emergency Coordinator Jim Mezey W2KFV was a welcome addition. Congratulations to the entire team for a job well done.

One important tool at our disposal is the Automatic Packet Reporting System or APRS®. It is vital to the operation to know where our operators are at all times during an emergency. APRS allows us to do just that!
