Perfect! Just as the US is moving back to AX.25 packet technology for Emcomm
purposes, people are planning on "shutting down" and making wholesale changes
to the AX.25 protocol. Brilliant!
Hopefully, it will only affect the VK crowd.

Subject: AX25 Protocol group
Hi,
I have heard that the above group may be looking at altering the
callsign fields to allow for extended callsigns
Eg WB6XXX/VK9 or VK9XXX/WB6
If this happens then all ax25 firmware / software will have to be
re-written
What a job
Has anyone else heard this ???

Ray might be interested to know that the ax25 protocol group will be
making
changes for variable length callsign fields.
It is not just a problem for Australianxxx calls.
There are other special needs such as portable operation VK2AAB/ZL2 etc.
They are working this year on other changes but it is definately in their
todo list.
I did not know that Roger had requested the source code be destroyed.
Thats a shame, from memory I think someone volunteered to him to take it
over.
