GREECE unlike other SERVERS which are located outside GREECE, and
their owners pretend they have their own SERVER in Greece, using
alias hostnames and other tricks. If you would like to visit it
please use the URL http://www.athnet.ampr.org
Apart from the WEB SERVER, athnet.ampr.org and the rest of the
other MAIN NODES of ATHnet offer AMPRnet e-mail, PBBS MAIL, MAILING
LISTS of Radio Amateur content, WORLD PACKET Radio Connectivity (AX25
and NETROM), WORLD AMPRnet Connectivity, WORLD DX-CLUSTER, WORLD
CONVERS SERVER and much more. Athnet.ampr.org is the GATEWAY for
the ATHENIAN AMPRnet Metropolitan Area Network. All these
SERVICES in all our NODES are FREE FOR LICENSED RADIO AMATEURS,
PROVIDED THAT THEY ARE USED FOR RADIO AMATEUR PURPOSES ONLY!!!
NEW Projects
9600 user access
SV1UY and SV1AAW are about ready to offer another USER ACCESS
FREQUENCY on 438.025 Khz with 9600 bps very soon (hopefully
after the end of the summer holidays), so if you are 9600 ready
please do not use 430.650 Khz yet, because it is strictly a
BACKBONE FREQUENCY. We are at the moment in a testing period of
this new 9600 bps subnet.
2400 user access
SV1AAW is about to offer another VHF port so that users with
2400bps modems can have another gate to AMPRnet. Please stay
tuned.
HF Pactor<===>AX25/TCPIP GATEWAY
SV1UY is in the process of setting up a PACTOR<===>AX25/TCPIP
GATEWAY which will operate mainly on 20 and 40 metres, but 80 will
be tried as well. This GATEWAY will enable an HF PACTOR user to
cross connect to our local or the international TCPIP amateur
packet radio network (AMPRNET). This GATEWAY will be useful to
these amateurs who travel in the land or in the sea or to the
ones on holiday and generally to radio amateurs that have no
access to our VHF/UHF PACKET network or to AMPRnet. Of course they
will need an HF MOBILE or HF PORTABLE PACTOR installation.
He has recently got a PTC-II from SCS and he intends to use it as
an HF PACTOR<===>AX25 PACKET GATEWAY. It should be ready by the end
of October 1999 and it will operate on 7030/14063/14073 KHZ and later
on 80 meters.
At the CLIENT side, for accessing this GATEWAY, you will need a
sort of PORTABLE or MOBILE HF radio, a MULTIMODE controller that
supports PACTOR, a small computer ranging from PALMTOP to
NOTEBOOK and of course some kind of portable or mobile antenna
for HF. Remember, a half wavelength wire and a small L type
antenna tuner enables you to tune on HF without any radials and
you will have no RF burning your fingers when you touch the
radio. This is a very good and simple portable antenna. One can
even use a 9 metre fishing pole as a support, 20 metres of wire
and make a helical antenna by winding the 20 metre wire around
the fishing pole, as a very big coil. This can tune between 40-10
metres without radials and on 80 metres with 1 or 2 radials. If
you use a 9-10 metre piece of wire then you can operate between
20-10 metres without any radials and with 1-2 radials on 40
metres. Donīt forget the ATU of course.
You can access ATHnet's FREE SERVICES by following the links:
ATHnet's WEB SERVER (http://www.athnet.ampr.org)
ATHnet's GATEWAY (telnet://athnet.ppc.gr) Please use NETterm as
a TELNET CLIENT.
*** Type "CONV" to join our CONVERS. When you are in the CONVERS
SERVER (you may have to ENABLE LOCAL ECHO in your TELNET CLIENT),
go to channel 154 to have a QSO with SV Radio Amateurs. Please
use your CALLSIGN to logon. You will probably find me there from
Monday - Friday after 19.00 GMT (Summertime) or after 20.00 GMT
(Wintertime) and anytime during the weekend.
*** Type "DXC" to join our DX-CLUSTER. You may need to DISABLE
LOCAL ECHO in your TELNET.
If you have problems using this SERVER please e-mail
sv1aaw@sv1aaw.ampr.org the owner of the DX-CLUSTER.

Demetre, your networking environment in Greece sounds first class - a
sensible and well-engineered blend of transmission media and protocols
that serves many needs efficiently and well. You are to be congratulated
on your accomplishments. I am impressed with the apparent ease with which
you have integrated several services and capabilities into a single
"super net." It retains the amateur radio emphasis throughout but
sensibly utilizes other services where they can do the job either better
or in some cases at all.
Your article reminded me that I spent several months in Athens in the
summer of 1952 as a Tech Rep for the RCA Service Company attached to the
USAF group there. My office was in the Tameion (sp?) Building in downtown
Athens. I had a great view of the Acropolis out the office window.
I occasionally operated the USAF ham station on the top floor of the
Tameion
Building where we had a 20 meter wire dipole on the roof.
Amateur radio evidently has come a long way in Athens since those days!
Again, my congratulations to you all.
