As previously reported, I’ve been tuning up my APRS gear and have several stations (usually) on the air: K0NR home station, K0NR-1 Trout Creek Pass digi, K0NR-5 smartphone and K0NR-7 VX-8GR handheld.
Someone asked me “What’s the purpose of this APRS stuff, anyway?”
I wasn’t sure what to say, so I answered with…
The Universal Purpose of Amateur Radio:
To Have Fun Messing Around with Radios.
73, Bob K0NR
Purpose is the eternal enigma! Greater minds than ours have been engaged in that quest for far longer.
Bob, your answer is as close to TRUTH as we’ll likely see. Keep messing around.
