Subject: Pre-Beginner Q
I have only recently heard of packet radio. I do not have a background in,
or significant knowledge of, in ham radio.
Where can I go to get a clear explanation of:
1) what packet radio is, and what it can do, and
2) what sort of equipment and knowledge is going to be required to
participate?
Thanks in advance for your consideration.

Subject: Soundcard packet
Hello
I know of the existance of Flexnet, and the soundcard modem for packet
comms, but it turns out that this is not compatable with my sound card
(Baycom hangs). Does anyone know of any other packages that will do this
type of thing (i.e. use a PC soundcard as a packet modem)?

On April 3rd 1974 a Tornado hit downtown Xenia Ohio. Amatuer Radio
operators imediatly mobilized and assisted with communications. MVFMA (Miami
Valley FM Association) had an emergency comunications Van and assisted for
several days. Hams even restored partial Emergency Communications for the
city. Many Hams all across the country help pass radio traffic.
The city of Xenia saw a need for an amatuer Radio club and about a year
later XWARN (Xenia Weather Amatuer Radio Network) was born and has grown
over the years.
There will be radio amatuer demonstrations througout the day, including
simulated emergency nets.. We will have special QSL cards for thoose who
