My Packet Radio details:
Operating on packet since March, 1983, started using VADCG tncs at 1200bps and later
with the HAPN 4800 bps modems. Also experimented with KA9Q, GRI & J-NOS and
Playing with Linux, particularly Debian & Fedora, see my Linux page.
Started looking into APRS application for packet radio, on-air December 2004.
Local repeater: VK2RMB 144.800 MHz 44.136.8.1 (4800bps) & 44.136.9.1 (1200bps) Telnet / AX25
Packet Mail: nil, use email instead
