I'm first to admit, I'm not a big digital type guy, I rather actually use my voice, but I do get interested in new developments, even all the old modes & digitals just so I can say I done it and know how to get it to work on my station. and a computer to encode/decode the information. it's just another tool to play with that only needs your radio and antenna.
I guess my best argument for 'What is this good for?' is just that, Why do people use WinLink, Why do they use APRS, etc. They are testing store-n-foward feature like is seen in some other applications like winlink. Now this could be much easier to just use email for right? I agree, but it's something newish, it's something different, that you can use your radio's to accomplish and not rely on any internet connections.
