Abstract
Point-to-point or point-to-multipoint communications are established based on a database query broadcast to all stations. Stations satisfying the query respond and communications are established with the station(s) responding. The database query is preferably directed to location, status or history of the station being queried. Responding stations may be displayed on a moving map and establishing communications with a responding station can be established by touching an icon of the station on a touch screen display.
