It was developed by Bob Bruninga, WB4APR, at the United States Naval Academy. The acronym &#8220;APRS&#8221; was originally derived from his callsign, and subsequently expanded to &#8220;Automatic Position Reporting System&#8221;. As the system was modified and expanded to handle non-position packet data, the meaning of the &#8220;P&#8221; in the acronym was again changed to &#8220;Packet&#8221; rather than &#8220;Position&#8221;. Today, it is common for hams to use either expansion of the acronym.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ashe County ARC operates an APRS digipeater on 144.390 MHz from Phoenix Mountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Map from <a href=\"http:\/\/aprs.fi\/#!mt=roadmap&amp;z=11&amp;lat=36.4612&amp;lng=-81.4887&amp;timerange=3600&amp;tail=3600\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">aprs.fi<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><br \/>\n\t\/\/ latitude and longitude of Phoenix Mountain, NC<br \/>\n\the_lat = 36.46117;<br \/>\n\the_lng = -81.48867;<br \/>\n\the_zoom = 10; \/\/ zoom out a bit<br \/>\n\the_maptype = 'h'; \/\/ hybrid map<br \/>\n\t\/\/ select what to show<br \/>\n\the_hide_tcp = 1; \/\/ do not show Internet stations<br \/>\n\the_show_aprs = 'w'; \/\/ show APRS stations with waypoints<br \/>\n\the_show_aprs_w = '1'; \/\/ show APRS weather stations<br \/>\n\the_show_aprs_i = 'p'; \/\/ only show the current position of items without track<br \/>\n\the_show_ais = ''; \/\/ do not show AIS ships<br \/>\n\t<\/script><br><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/aprs.fi\/js\/embed.js\"><br \/>\n\t<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Automatic Packet Reporting System (APRS) is an amateur radio based system for digital communications, most commonly used to automatically report the position (GPS coordinates) of a person or object, or weather data at a remote location.
