APRS just got a new feature, you can now use a store and forward message service on APRS.

What is APRS?

APRS stands for Automatic Packet Reporting System, a digital communications system that uses packet radio technology to transmit small packets of data over amateur radio frequencies. Its primary purpose is to share real-time information, usually pertaining to location, but it can also carry text messages, weather reports, and telemetry data. APRS is used by amateur radio operators to track positions, for emergency communications, for weather balloon data, and for various other applications where quick and precise information sharing is necessary. It operates mainly on a single VHF frequency (144.390 MHz in North America) and can be interfaced with GPS units to broadcast an individual or object's location, making it a valuable tool for search and rescue operations and mobile tracking.
