Subject: APRS on handheld / palmtop computers
Saw a picture of a palm IIIx running APRS software in current issue of
Canadian Amateur.
Does anyone have information about this software - whether for Windows CE
machines or palms?

It's an interesting point though. I just saw a ham on another newsgroup
propose that since CW requirements are being reduced by your FCC,
the bandwidth allocated to CW could also be decreased.
Digital modes are finding it hard to bandwidth. PSK31 is generally found
around 14.070 MHz but this area is used by PACTOR stations. PSK31
is a very narrow mode which encourages low power use and is for
keyboard to keyboard QSOs, and so it is not really compatible with PACTOR
which typically seems to invole a lot of power, and contacts with BBS
stations and the like.
Similarly MT63 is a wideband digital mode; uses about 1 kHz in the default
mode (can use 500Hz or 2kHz; each has different amounts of robustness).
MT63 still hasn't found a really solid home because the US regulations
only talk about narrowband digital modes like RTTY and packet, and
not wider modes like MT63. So it doesn't seem to fit in any part of the band.
Yet these digital modes are where real HF experimentation is taking
place, not the phone segment.

Subject: Lan-link Y2K Bug
I don't think the source code is available, even if you were a coder.
I haven't seen anything from the author is several years either.
There is a Y2K update for paKet. It is similar to Lan-Link, but with
slightly different features. You can get this at
ftp://tapr.org/software_lib/terminal/paKet62.zip.

Ditto. Using a dipole in the third storey attic, with Pactor II via
the SCS PTC-II. Pactor II RULES!

I can tell you: you received a mail from a friend, and it had
an attachment named "happy99.exe". You ran it and it displayed a
fireworks display. You thought "nice gesture", but from then on it
sent the same message to each friend you sent a mail and after each
newsposting you made.
Lesson: don't blindly click on attachments received with mail or news.
These trojans are distributed by the large hurds of people that think
"aha, an attachment. let's doubleclick on it to see what it is". They
have to be tought to be more wary and practice "safe computing".
