This last weekend I attended the ARRL KS State Convention in Salina, KS. The
A0-27 demo was one of the 'neat' activities I attended. How would this compare
to using A0-27? 

I am going to Jamaica next month for my daughter's wedding. I was wandering
about taking some kind of APRS with me, this would be about the only way (that I
know of) to get back into the USA network. With the luggage limits in mind, what
would I have to take to get to the network? Since I am a tech+ HF is pretty much
out. A bird in the sky is about all that is left isn't it?

Thanks, 
Don
