I'm new to the VAF forums. I'm an inactive Ham, and relatively new pilot. I just recently discovered APRS, and it fascinates me. I've researched some local ham radio clubs (Reading, Pennsylvania area), and even contacted someone who runs a local digi, but I haven't found anyone locally who could give me a hands-on demonstration, or see it in action.
This forum has been the single greatest source of information about APRS!
My question is, will there be any workshop, lecture, demonstration, etc., about APRS at Airventure Oshkosh 2009? I didn't see it listed on their master schedule. I supposed the best bet would be to hang out in the Vans area and look for someone with some expertise. Any advice?
If I don't make it to Airventure, what's the best way to find a local APRS mentor (they used to call them Elmers)?
Thanks.
