Hacking Ham Radio for Texting

And before APRS we had packet radio[1]. Around 1992/3 I remember going to Boy scout camp at ten mile river and a scoutmaster from another troop had a packet radio setup connected to a luggable PC in one of the buildings. I dont remember what it was for but the idea of wireless digital communications was exciting. Now its everywhere.

APRS is built on packet radio (AX.25 protocol IIRC).
