What can I say? I'm a Renaissance man. Yeah, I haven't modified it. Heck, I just was looking at it and just saw that they finally updated the county that I lived in, because it had the correct address, but still said San Diego County. The grid code is way off. It still shows San Diego area or El Cajon, where I used to live. So I need to figure out how to update the grid, because I did look it up. I do have the correct grid saved where I can get to it. So I need to figure out how I can update the grid. You figure the grid would update when they put the correct address in there. Yesterday, I ended up helping out another ham update her address on QRZ. What you have to do, because QRZ pulls it off of the FCC, so you've got to go use your FRN number and go to the FCC website and sign in and then update your address on the FCC website. And then after a day or two, it will update on QRZ. But like I said, for the longest time, it still had San Diego as my county. And it finally changed over to Maricopa. But the grid square still shows the grid square for San Diego, where I used to live there. So I've got to figure that out. And somebody had a question, APRS. APRS is a tracking software tracking site. So some radios give off a signal on digital that sends off your GPS location. In some radios, you have to have a GPS attached to the radio for it to send off the GPS location. Some radios will, I think, send it off if you're linking into a repeater. It will send off the GPS location based off that repeater. But with APRS, you can get the APRS app off of the App Store. And you can have it on your phone and sign up for an account, put in your call sign. Just a second.
