I'd like to see something as simple as an FLMSG form to spot your coordinates by sending an APRS beacon from FLDIGI. Shooting out a short text message to APRS from FLMSG/FLDIGI would be pretty cool, too.

Locally we use FBB for store and retrieve of informational bulletins over simplex range networks for inter township and county level relays during RACES events. We also have line driven database apps on packet where check ins to storm shelters and hospitals are entered. Giving us regional ability to locate persons on request. Message traffic can be run via NBEMS but that relies on receiving stations being up when sent. FBB of course saves the message for later retrieval and an archive. Packet still has use in the toolkit. I also simply play with it because it is fun...though I'm one of very few locally who do Chris, Thanks for the update. I was not aware it was being used. If something is useful and being used it is good and fun to play with too. Maybe it will be good addition to fldigi. Dick AA5VU
