11/29/09--07:11: AMPRNet – Lessons learned, things to consider (chan 1684991)

1.  Don’t rely upon 44 Net/AMPRNet for connectivity. It’s no substitute for building out your local RF links or at least independent internet links. It’s simply too unpredictable long term and a major SPF (Single Point of Failure). If you want to experiment with 44 Net that’s fine, just remember to keep it at that. [...]

01/11/10--09:32: BPQ32 Packet Chat Network Map (chan 1684991)

– Update: 11/18/2010 – There’s also an experimental BPQ32 packet node map available here: http://nodemap.g8bpq.net:81/ I suggest you refer to this page before trying to figure the above map out. For now only a few of the many available nodes are listed. Not all BPQ32 nodes have HF ports. At last check, some nodes that [...]

01/14/10--18:48: KYPN Status Report #1 (sort of) & HF Packet/Pactor testing (chan 1684991)

January 14, 2010: BPQ32 KAM/SCS PACTOR SUPPORT: John (G8BPQ) has been doing some really great work on adding SCS/Kantronics Pactor support to the BPQ32 nodes lately. For those building a robust packet network upon BPQ32, we now have a nice “backup” option for the internet links. While the Pactor code is still in “alpha” development [...]

05/02/10--10:51: Internet Linking of Packet Radio Systems (chan 1684991)

I’m often asked about how I feel regarding the use of internet links to tie distant packet systems (I call them Regional LANs) together into a WAN. It can become a hot and often overblown topic at times. The short answer? I don’t see show stopper issues in doing this with EMCOMM focused networks IF [...]

06/05/10--10:06: The Perks of the KYPN Internet Links (chan 1684991)

UPDATE  November 2010:  Henderson KY is also linked in along with Evansville IN (just across the river). From time to time someone asks about the internet link between the Western and Northern Kentucky (NKY) packet radio LANs together.  Yes,  internet failure is a concern for sure, but we can work around that if needed.  I’ve [...]
