I've got quite a lot of info on using the Kantronics D4-10 19.2kB radios, as that's the hardware we've been struggling with here. TAPR (Tuscon Amateur Packet Radio) has formed a special interest group to discuss issues of regional packet networking (Net-SIG). As a result, the TAPR net-sig mailing list was born, and is now ready for operation. This list is intended to replace any of the existing packet-related mailing lists. Its purpose is provide a medium for communications among those interested in packet radio networking, both dealing with technical issues and political/regulatory ones. We'll discuss things like how the potential 219MHz band will fit into the networking picture, how to link areas using different networking schemes, how to set network parameters, etc. The list's charter will be posted there regularly. The address of the list is net-sig@tapr.org and you can subscribe by sending mail to listserv@tapr.org with the text "join netsig". Apart from subscribing to the list, you can contact me for further details about the Net-SIG (including upcoming conferences).

If I can be of assistance in older equipment, junk-boxing your way to hamdom, the cheapskate's approach, let me know. 22 yrs a ham, extra class, mostly cw, mostly boat anchors and radio in the traditional sense. {Telegraphy has been in my family for almost 100 years!} CWISTS Friday Night Fist Function Standard time: Friday Nights at MIDNIGHT LOCAL TIME Standard freq: 80 meters --- 3702.5 khz for all hands. 40 meters --- 7102.5 khz alternate, for all hands (between the heterodynes) (someone scout out a better QRG) ___ Standard calling signal: CWIST IMI DE K (if there are no control stations calling for you to check in), or, CWIST DE K (if there is a control station inviting checkins) (The alternative check in for those OTs with salt behind the ears is a simple DE to get the control station's ears followed by DE K when the control station acknowledges.) Note: A simple informal net style protocol will generally be used, unless no control station assumes control for the evening, in which case it is an open roundtable format discussion group. Note: The midnight local time gathering is designed to maximize the number of checkins spread out over the world, so less confusion and more checkins are heard. The hope is that someone will be aboard almost anywhere and be heard at least locally, anywhere in the world. Definition: A CWIST is a person with an active interest in the PRACTICE and USE of continuous wave radiotelegraphy as directly is applicable to amateur radio. Such PRACTICE and USE may take the form of learning about radiotelegraphy and its history in amateur/commercial areas, its application to radio telecommunication, the practicing of the art and craft of radiotelegraphy, and the refining and developing of the technology of radiotelegraphy. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Steven M. Knapp KA9QOA Computer Engineering Senior sknapp@iastate.edu Vice President Cyclone Amateur Radio Club Iowa State University; Ames, IA Durham Center Operations Staff A few members of our ham radio club were interested in helping out. Since our turnover is usually 4 years or so (graduation is a horrible thing), I thought it may be difficult for us to keep the list up to date. I thought that by creating a local mailing list called "elmers@iastate.edu" we could add or remove people as need be. There would always be at least one person receiving mail on that list, usually more! Even after I graduate, this list will be maintained allowing ISU hams to easily help others. Currently we have people with packet experience, some HF experience, much repeater experience, in addition to a considerable background in theory, as many here are electrical engineering or computer engineering students. If a question can not be answered by the readers of the list, there are many other local hams that could be prodded for the info. Our local ham radio club has been especially interested in helping local disabled hams (or hams to be) get on the air. But anyone local who needed help would find a group at their door ready to work. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I'll be glad to help out with tube circuits and VE testing.
