What's that noise on 20m?

Thu 02 October 2014

Yesterday I was tuning around 20 meters and heard packet!  Wow, it's been years since I've used packet (outside of APRS which is a different animal when compared to this).  Turns out I stumbled onto the Net105 frequency with all of their users.  It's quite busy there and I've seen stations from Florida and Colorado and everywhere in between.

I still enjoy packet radio and even worked two stations, keyboard to keyboard, this morning.  I may try to put up something more permanent up for the network.  If I can find a KAM+ I should be able to hook an HF radio and a VHF/UHF radio together and provide a gateway for myself and anyone else that wants to join in.

We'll see what happens in the future.
