Ham radio always seemed a bit boring compared to the Internet, computers, and software development.

What are the most interesting things people are doing with Ham these days? I’ve had a technical class license for a couple decades but never used it, which I keep renewing. Willing to get a more advanced license.

APRS is cool: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_Packet_Reporting_Sys...

https://aprs.fi/ is a site that displays a bunch of devices online.

Some people have APRS radios in their cars so they can see exactly where it is for example.
