The Larkfield Amateur Radio Club welcomes Tom Rothamel, AA2TR, for an informative presentation exploring Global Positioning System (GPS) technology and its applications in amateur radio.
Tom will discuss the fundamentals of GPS, including how satellite-based positioning and timing systems operate, and examine their importance in modern radio communications.
The presentation will explore potential amateur radio applications such as location tracking, APRS (Automatic Packet Reporting System), precise time synchronization, and the role of GPS timing in digital communications.
Whether you’re interested in satellite technology, digital modes, or simply understanding how GPS works, this program promises to offer valuable insights into a technology we increasingly rely on every day.
