  • Just saying Hello to the HAMS

    KF5HSY here and just wanted to say hello to the HAMS, working on a new project and thought I's say hello. Working on getting a BBS setup and one day getting it radio ready, so hello.

    Cool.
    I haven't really ever connected to a bbs over the air waves.
    I suspect I'd have to do something like packet over hf or something
    since vhf is short range.

    There are digipeaters!

    Packet BBSes are usually a bit different from 'dialup' BBSes. Usually just run on a TNC but sometimes on a PC, with very short and minimal menus and features.

    The NS2B BBS in Penfield, New York, has both RF and telnet access,
    and they have a weekly packet net most Monday evenings.
