Instructions on how to join the nets
APRSPH
https://aprsph.net
Send an APRS message to APRSPH to join the net in the following format:
- CQ [space] your message to send a message to everyone checked in for the day.
- This also adds you to the net log, and you will subsequently receive any CQ messages received by APRSPH thereafter.
- Subsequent CQ messages will also be sent to everyone in the list.
- NET [space] your message will quietly join you into the daily net.
- This will not alert everyone in the net, but your callsign and message will be logged below.
- The message is optional. Sending NET without a message after will still log your callsign into the net and the recipient list. You will then receive subsequent CQ messages whenever someone checks in or sends a new CQ message.
Other commands to interact with the bot and to retrieve information:
- LIST to view the current day's list of checked-in stations.
- LAST to see the last 5 messages (use LAST10 for 10 messages or LAST15 for 15 messages).
- LAST THURS retrieves the last 5 messages from the #APRThursday log. LAST10 or LAST15 will also work.
- MINE to view the recent CQ/NET messages sent by your own station to the net in the current month. You may include a callsign-ssid to review the last messages sent by that station (e.g., MINE DU2XXR-7). Use MINE10 or MINE15 for 10 or 15 messages, respectively.
- MINE THURS will retrieve your last #APRSThursday messages. MINE10 and MINE15 will also work.
- SEARCH [space] word or phrase to find the last 5 messages from the month that contain the word or phrase. SEARCH10 or SEARCH15 to fetch 10 or 15 messages, respectively
- ?APRST or ?PING? to get a message with the path/s your packet took to the bot.
- ?APRSP to make the bot send a position packet.
- ?APRSS to make the bot send a status packet with the count of checkins for the day and total SMS processed.
- ?APRSM or MSG to retrieve the last 10 messages sent to your callsign+ssid, using the aprs.fi API. Alternative command is M. Example: ?APRSM
- Add a callsign-ssid after to retrieve messages directed to that callsign. Example: ?APRSM DU2XXR-7
- UNSUBSCRIBE or U to check out from the day's net. You will no longer receive CQ messages until you rejoin.
- You may add a checkout text message after the command, which will also be recorded on the log. Example: U checking out for the day. See u tomorrow.
- HELP for a list of other commands.
- The net restarts every 0000Z or midnight UTC time and you need to check in again to rejoin.

To join, send an APRS message to ANSRVR in the following format:
CQ [space] HOTG [space] Your message
Your message will then be sent to all callsigns currently joined to the ANSRVR group called HOTG (which stands for "hams on the gram"). You will also then receive any subsequent messages sent to the group within a 12-hour period.
If you are already checked in but wish to unsubscribe to subequent messages, you can send the following to ANSRVR:
