Because  I would like to have multiple trackers online/in the air simultaneously, and I would like to do it without needing a ground station receiver for every operating tracker (about $60 for one xbee ground station, plus all the complexity) and the extra configuration complexity of using multiple xbee pairs simultaneously. It's also easier to get APRS back onto the air for consumption on a D72, D700, etc. 

It's also a little bit of an experiment in creating an APRS RF network on a layer 2 protocol other than AX.25.
