Roverstaus.info is an internet-based service for Amateur Radio operators
interested in VHF/UHF and microwave contesting. The rules have changed
-- in all ARRL Contests above 50 MHz, you are now allowed to self-spot
yourselves by any means available.
The challenge? Rovers (mobiles on the road, running between grid
squares) don't have the time or energy to update multiple web sights or
applications. Fixed stations do not want to have to look at a ton of
computer screens to see where rovers are, and what their status is.
We have an answer: The huge social messaging site Twitter! What if you
could simply tweet your location and status information, and have your
information automatically propagated to APRS-IS (and to) aprs.fi
<http://www.roverstatus.info/aprs.fi> as well as the world-wide DX
Cluster system automatically?
