The listeners have spoken—so I’m breaking my own rules and releasing this episode out of sequence.

I’ve been getting a lot of APRS questions lately, and instead of trying to answer them all on Instagram or Facebook, I figured it was time to bring this one back.

This is a replay from the HamRadio 360 podcast, where I sat down with Kenneth W6KWF to talk about APRS—an old-school messaging system that works without any infrastructure. No cell towers, no Wi-Fi. Just radios doing what radios do best.

It’s simple, powerful, and way too overlooked. If you’re into emergency comms or prepping, APRS should be on your radar. Honestly, it’s worth getting your ham license for this feature alone.

Enjoy the throwback—and check out more at prepcomms.com or dig through the full archive at hamradio360.com.
