Hi Nate,
HamIM is is a technology/strategy that works only when others use it too. It
will start out slowly in a given area. Don't let it discourage you. Others
will join-in over time. Once others use it too, it becomes an a-w-e-s-o-m-e
resource.
Using HamIM...
... with an attached GPS in my rover, I've had home stations send me IM's as I
approached known hilltops.
... I've found Rovers as they were "just passing through" on their way to other
operating locations (I'd have missed them in my own grid otherwise)
... I've IM'd them to setup "yet another" try on a band that I missed them on
(the IM window stays open until they close it)
There's more, but you catch the drift. Ultimately, you have to experience it
for yourself because no amount of describing it can convey the fun of using it
otherwise.
