Subject: AX25 BBS activity

Recently I have been receiving an unusual number of requests for info on
setting up a Packet BBS, and have noticed two new BBS's in my local area, as
well. A couple of freqs that have been dead for years here are now occupied
with BBS forwarding or access.

Anybody else noticing this same thing, or is this just a North Texas
phenomena?

The last VHF BBS in Oklahoma City went SK last weekend.  APRS is picking up,
and is taking over the old netrom sites.  144.390 is quite active.

Subject: ft1000mp/sstv

I have an ft1000mp and have wired the radio up to the computer via pkt
socket.....
the manual says that sstv can be set via user mode...
I have found that you can only use lsb and not usb which is what I want...
is there any way to set up the ft1000mp to use usb via pkt socket........

There are a few lists, but none that mention more than a tiny fraction of
the actual stations that are out there.

If you are looking for an HF BBS to forward messages with, your best bet is
to simply listen around on the digital segments of the bands you are
interested in, then contact the SYSOPs of stations that you can receive very
well. A good way to initiate contact is to send a regular packet message,
posted at your local BBS. I say this because many HF forwarding stations are
set up to only accept direct connects from other members of the forwarding
net they are participating in.

Gateways are another matter, of course. If you can hear them and they can
hear you, you're in business! Same goes for BBS's that provide/allow access
on HF.

There is still some good HF Packet activity, but most Hams are going over to
PACTOR, PACTOR2, or CLOVER for that kind of stuff these days, because these
work quite a bit better than Packet.

On of the great things about digital HF is that it's accessible from just
about anywhere on the planet.

Charles - Is there a packet network similar to the HF "WinLink" system
to
facilitate regular internet email access for hams in RVs on the road?

Thanks
