Just a technician license, which is entry level. (novice no longer exists

Thanks Dave. Great post! I understand completely. Now I have a very good
reason to get a ham ticket. A close friend has been bugging me for many
years to do just that. Of course he has been a ham for about 50 years (no
lie). The APRS system is very well thought out....and I realize that each
packet is not 100% reliable......but that is so much better than just an ELT
running off a G-switch. You guys are really doing a service by educating
us......and hopefully saving lives in the future.

Many Thanks!!
