[Harc] Digital modes in Humboldt on VHF

[MJ Inabnit]

I also COMPLETELY omitted Packet.  Packet is used for computer to
computer contacts with keyboard chats or sending messages & files.
Packet is also used for APRS.  Both modes are supported here during our
Monday evening emergency nets.  Packet is on 145.050MHz and APRS is on
144.390MHz.  I take APRS check-ins from 6pm-7:15pm, and packet check-ins
all day each Monday.
