Default Soaring with SPOT: APRS

A friend of mine is using the Automatic Packet Reporting System (APRS)
utilizing the HAM radio system while driving across the US. The
initial costs are a little higher, but it might be a good alternative
to the SPOT system as well in an area with enough HAM repeaters.

Watch Duane drive across the US:

Yeah, ham coverage wouldn't be sufficient in the western US especially
the great basin, but it would be great if we could have the same web
interface for SPOT...
