The
Barnhart Middle School Amateur
Radio Club's FCC call sign is
N6BMS. Using Amateur Radio,
we will transmit our location while traveling throughout the day
and you may track our progress over the internet.
Using APRS, or the Automatic
Position Reporting System, our location will be superimposed on
a basic street map. This new feature is still experimental for
Barnhart School. The plan is to travel with an HT, or
handheld transmitter, and a small GPS system. Amateur
Radio stations located across our route, and around the country
for that matter, might receive our position report which is then
relayed over the internet. Using this page you may note
our location.
The tracking system is now online
on the east coast.
 Click
here to track our students. The page should auto-refresh
once every 30-seconds displaying a new position report. If
your browser is not "auto-refreshing," use your
refresh button to
receive an updated position report.
Or,
click here to track our students using Google maps.
This map has more detail but does not auto-refresh.

Notes:
This new feature is experimental.
We do not yet know how this new technology
will work on the east coast.
