About #APRSThursday
APRS Thursday is a net managed by Michael KC8OWL, held every Thursday with the aim of growing message activity on APRS across the world. More information is available at the #APRSThursday event website or on the official Facebook group. Many manufacturers are now including APRS functionality as a standard feature, making APRS more accessible, and hopefully more popular than ever.
How to participate in #APRSThursday
The APRS Thursday net is held each week on Thursday between the hours of 00:00:00UTC to 23:59:59UTC.
Based on your browers locale, you can check into the net each week anytime between
and in your local timezone.
