- FleetTalk – W4FTK
The Columbia Amateur Radio Club had the honor to host a presentation on the subject of
FleetTalk during the October 2023 monthly Club meeting. Matt Hall, KD4EOD, and John
Morandi, NI4JM shared the motivation and history behind the FleetTalk repeater system starting
initially with APRS and later transitioning to the addition of AllStar for linking repeaters. While the system continues to expand, FleetTalks’ key goal remains to provide wide area capability and good-quality analog audio. Their message was clear, the FleetTalk group encourages amateur radio operators to utilize the system.For additional information about FleetTalk, follow this link:
