Emergency Balik Ke Parit Buntar

22 may 2008 saya mendapat call dari kampung xyl di parit buntar tentang berita pemergian ke rahmatullah biras kita Abdul Halim Limat atau dikenali di Tg Piandang sebagai halim kedai. Sy bertolak pulang ke parit buntar jam 6.30 pagi dan sampai jam 10.00 pagi. Sempat sebelum arah dikebumikan. Malam semasa kenduri arwah di surau Sg Atas Betul bertemu dengan 9m2 RR pak Rahim yang memang kita kenal dan tau tinggal berdekatan. Al Fatihah untuk arwah.

APRS NOT JUST VEHICLE TRACKING

THE GOAL IS COMMUNICATIONS and LOCAL INFO UPDATE, -NOT- JUST VEHICLE TRACKING!

APRS was never intended to be just a vehicle tracking system (GPS was added in the 1992 time frame when GPS became affordable). APRS is much more. See the Kenwood mobile display above. This is the STATION LIST which shows the nearest 100 stations heard. . In this case, not only are the two stations of AB9FX nearby, but also his current VOICE operating frequency is visible. Also, we can see that this radio is in OPERATING range of three voice repeaters that are also identifying themselves as objects on APRS as the locally recommended voice operating channels.

APRS provides situational awareness to all operators of everything that is going on in his local area, whether it be Weather reporting, traveler info, Direction Finding, objects pointing to ECHOlink and IRLP, or Traffic reporting and emergency response. All of this while providing not only instantaneous operator-to-operator keyboard messaging capability for special events, but also an always-on Voice Alert backchannel between mobiles in simplex range. There is even an APRS interface to the WinLINK system called APRSlink, so that mobiles can send and receive Email without needing a PC. Think of APRS as a signalling channel to reveal ALL amateur radio resources and live activities that are in range of the operator at any instant in time.
