Last night, I received an unsolicted APRS message on my VX-8R. I didn't send any message that caused a message to be replied back to me. It just showed up & was advertising some local net.

I thought that was cool, but it got me wondering - how did I get this message? I noticed there was a group name attached to the message; it was not addressed directly to me.

As far as I know, my call is not in any APRS groups, but how would I even know that?

Because I received this message - am I a member of this group?
