The book covers in detail packet radio fundamentals, APRS, Winlink 2000 and more. There is a section covering D-STAR and one on high speed multimedia - using amateur radio data network by modifying routers and access points. Readers are also treated to sections on "digital meteor scatter", "Moonbounce" and weak signal operating using "WSJT".
