Universal ham radio text messaging initiative

The September QST magazine is a special emergency communications issue and it features an article by Bob Bruninga WB4APR on the Universal Ham Radio Text Messaging Initiative

The article seeks to introduce a broad new Amateur Radio initiative to find ways to seemlessly connect many of the dozens of existing Amateur Radio text messaging capabilities together.

Much of the information from the article is available on the web, see the Amateur Radio Universal Text Messaging / Contact Initiative page at
