Our first packet net

It’s been talked about for a long time, but we’ve finally set a date for our first packet net; Saturday 17th September at 20:00 – 144.950FM.

With so few of us within simplex range of each other, digipeating will be essential, so please make sure this is enabled in your TNC if you’re taking part. The more stations we can get involved, the better this will work, so if your station is packet-capable, please dust off your TNC and join in.

Stations confirmed so far:

  1. M0XTF Tony – Bungay
  2. M0VCX John – Watton
  3. M1MIT Tim – Norwich
  4. M5MSX Martin – Gt. Yarmouth
  5. M7GMT Rik – Attleborough

As this will be the first attempt, we’ll be figuring out who can hear who, and exactly how paths should be configured, but if all goes well, this could become a regular thing, perhaps alternating with a 2m JS8 net. We could call it SaturDATA. 🙂
