I guess I'll start on this.
There are several things I use YAAC for:
1. APRS tracking of mobile SAG units during public service events, such as bicycle fundraisers like the Multiple Sclerosis City-to-Shore 150, the French Creek Iron Tour, etc.
2. monitoring the health of APRS weather stations under the responsibility of our county ARES/RACES group (county Emergency Management uses a data feed from one of our I-gates to plan for emergencies where wind direction is significant).
3. demonstrating what APRS can do at hamfests, maker faires, etc., (back before COVID-19 stopped allowing such events).

I am working on promoting YAAC among the Ham team at Austin Disaster Relief Network<>. I recently suggested to Jim Peisker (a fellow ADRN volunteer and the author of NewHams.info<>) that he add information about YAAC to his recent article on APRS<>. I described YAAC to Jim as follows and pointed him to the YAAC Web site<>.
YAAC is a full featured APRS client that includes:
* Downloading of maps for plotting stations when an internet connection is not available.
* Beaconing (including optional weather data)
* Messaging
* Queries
* Operation as a QRU server, Digipeater, or I-Gate
* Callsign lookup
I am hoping that this group can help me provide others with more information about how people are using YAAC. To that end:
How do you use YAAC?
