Welcome to the N1RCW APRS Info Site for the Cape Cod Area.
In the past several years an increase of APRS activity due to the
Installation of some prime APRS Digipeater sites through out SE Ma
has brought more RF Data to the Cape and Islands.
Locating Active Stations and EOC's plus the use of messaging throughout the APRS network has improved.
The APRS Network today has many useful tools for Hams to use.
Text Messaging, Weather conditions,and Early warnings
for severe weather conditions can be received and posted via APRS.
Plus mobile tracking and Repeater locations and VOIP system locations
can be transmitted in a format to be displayed
on the New Kenwood D710 series Mobile and HT.
The traveling Ham can now find local repeaters and voip links
in the area they are visiting.

APRS software is readly available for all to use.
