I want to thank everyone who checked in this evening. We had one of our
best nights again. We had 21 check ins and that was an awesome number. I
will send out these reminders for nets via BVARC. Seems that this may help.

[BVARC] BVARC Monday night net...

2024-02-12 Thread Richard Bonica via BVARC 
All,
please jin us tonight at 8pm on 146.94. Tonight we will be hosting the
BVARC Valatine's net. This is your chance to ask question of other member
and to also get your significant other or family member to let you buy more
radio equipment. Just call in this week, ask a question that will require
you to buy more equipment and then tell us about your valentine wishes for
your significant other or family member and win some points with them.

Please - pass this on and let's have a party. If we get more than 20 member
join tonight, I think I heard that our president Mike Harwick will sing for
us.

Re: [BVARC] Packet Radio in Houston

2024-02-12 Thread Fox Danger Piacenti via BVARC 

Hi Stephen.

You can find the repository here: https://gitlab.com/FoxyFoxie/pax25/

As mentioned, only the application layer has been built, with some shims 
for the frame queue/connections/etc.


It is extensively documented, though there aren't diagrams. It includes 
a walk-through tutorial on how to build your own app, and includes an 
example BBS app that demonstrates its capabilities. The included BBS app 
only took me a day or two to write in the library and does nearly 
everything my TNC's built-in BBS does.


The getting started guide 
 
will walk you through building the documentation for reading locally. If 
you have any trouble with it, please file an issue so I can take a 
closer look :)


Best,

-Fox

Hey Fox,
Good afternoon.  I remember chatting with you at a brews with BVARC 
about a python library for ham comms that you were developing.  Do you 
have a GitHub repository or a SW architecture/block diagram of the 
signal flow?  Just wondering.  BTW, this sounds really cool.

Hi Scott and Terry,

There are also a few persons (such as myself) running individual 
nodes with things like BBSes. I'm currently working on some Python 
libraries with a few friends to make some new custom AX.25 apps that 
can do much more than packet radio has historically done. Right now a 
first version of the application layer is working and a friend is 
working on the protocol part.


In Houston, the big digipeater is named BIGBOY. You can usually 
connect to most systems in the area through it using your TNC. I have 
a node named 'FOXBOX' which you can contact through it. The command 
on your node is likely to be something like:


c FOXBOX v BIGBOY

There's also another mailbox that a few people use run by K5PBM. It's 
named PBMBOX. BIGBOY also has an address you can connect to as a jump 
box, but I forget the name. It announces it every few hours or so.


This is all on 145.05, so if you were listening on another frequency, 
you might not have found any of this.


Best,

-Fox

Scott, That's a perfect case for APRS digipeater works. You should 
do some googling on that and see what special software interfaces 
you need. I use a Tiny Tracker  but it is offline for a while.
Long range I'm converting the Tiny Tracker to a Raspberry Pi HAM 
digital utility but I don't have enough time to attend to it yet. 
Still not retired.
