Hello Joe!

A quick google search came back with: https://aprsph.net/aprsthursday/

About #APRSThursday

#APRSThursday is a net managed by Michael KC8OWL. It is held every Thursday
with the aim of growing message activity on APRS across the world.

Note: #APRSThursday is a unique and separate net from the APRSPH net. These
logs below are a collaboration between Michael KC8OWL (net manager of
#APRSThursday) and Angelo DU2XXR/N2RAC (net manager of APRSPH) to ensure easy
access to information and traffic. DU2XXR also partcipates in #APRSThursday.

This website started logging #APRSThursday beginning Thursday, December 8,
2022, #APRSThursday checkins are automatically logged by the APRSPH bot as
long as it is subscribed to HOTG. These are tagged with [#APRSThursday]. You
will also get an auto-reply that your checkin and message were logged during
the #APRSThursday net.  Messages sent to the HOTG group on ANSRVR will also be
logged here during the rest of the week, but without the tag and without the
auto-response.

The APRSPH bot resides on a phyiscal digipeater and logs whatever it receives
from ANSRVR either via its own igate or through other igates/digipeaters in
the area. It's possible that some messages might be missed in the event that
the digipeater goes offline or the APRSPH bot has its regular auto-restarts.

If you are part of #APRSThursday, I am also inviting you to check out our
APRSPH net, too. Instructions for joining the APRSPH net and other bot
commands are on the home page: aprsph.net.

I've been periodically checking in to Winlink Wednesdays.  Maybe I'll add APRS
Thursdays to my reminders, too :)
