Abstract
This paper describes an experimental Java client-server system using the Amateur Radio Service over the World Wide Web (WWW). This system allows a mobile user to receive maps of his present location as well as send and receive messages to a user located at a central headquarters. Location information of the mobile user is obtained via a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver and sent to the central headquarters by way of amateur radio. The server operator at the central headquarters is able to locate any mobile user at any given time as well as communicate with him/her. The software includes a Java client application and a Java server application. The client machine is an Intel based laptop running RedHat Linux 5.3. The server machine is an Intel based system running RedHat Linux 5.2 acting as both an Intranet server and an Internet gateway for the laptop.
