APRS Internet Email

Want to send an Email to someone but the Internet is down in your location?  Have a APRS radio?  Did you know that you can send an Email message to someone using the APRS message feature.  I tried this out when I first started out playing with APRS, but it came back up again when I was thinking of how to communicate during an emergency.

All you have to do is send a message to EMAIL

The body of the message is "emailaddress message" or something like:
EMAIL xxyyzz@google.com  this is a test message

You have to deal with the limitations of this method:
1)  Message length is limited to 67 characters including the address
2) There is no way I know of how the recipient can reply to the message
3) There is no easy way for someone to send the APRS operator a email form the Internet.

One way out,  no way in.   It does work, and works reasonably well.

If you want as a APRS user to receive an email message you can register with http://aprsmail.org.
