Registration for the Zero Retries Digital Conference is now open! The conference will be held on October 16, 2026 at the Roundhouse Conference Center in San Ramon, CA. It's colocated with, but separate from, the Pacificon conference held the same weekend.

APRS services, sometimes called bots, provide useful capabilities to operators via APRS messages.

I've been keeping my own personal list of useful bots and what their commands are. I'm throwing away my list.

Craig KM6LYW introduced me to the APRS Service Registry. The registry is much larger than my list, and has the benefit of being a resource for the entire community.

I have a proposal for a new APRS activity and supporting software called APRS On The Air. It brings the activator-and-chaser game of Parks on the Air and Summits on the Air to APRS.

Read the proposal at https://aprsota.org. I'm looking for feedback before I build the software.
