[digitalradio] Network 105 / Multipsk
Hello to all, About this net, I received an intyeresting mail from Sholto: 73 Patrick *** I have a little explanation for the HF packet network. I hope it helps:- First see the attached map. It shows most of the important nodes on Network 105. The parameters for HF are: MARK: 14103.42 KHz SPACE: 14103.22 KHz HBAUD: 300 PACLEN: 60 FRACK: 5 MAXFRAME: 1 SSID's used are:- Absent: Direct QSO -1: Mail drop -2: Gateway digipeater -7: Node -10: Winlink 2000 RMS The nodes are used to hop around the network instead of digipeating which is inefficient. ACK frames are handled by node-node connections rather than stations themselves. For instance. If I want to talk to Burt, VE1AMA I could first connect to W0TX-7 in Colorado. When connected I would see this:- ###CONNECTED TO NODE W0TX-7(W0TX) CHANNEL A Denver Radio Club 145.0514.105 (www.w0tx.org) ENTER COMMAND: B,C,J,N,X, or Help ? The commands on this node mean: B - BYE C - CONNECT TO ANOTHER STATION J - SHOW THE HEARD LIST (FROM W0TX) X - CONNECT TO ANOTHER STATION ON SECONDARY PORT (OFTEN VHF) Now I might be able to reach VE1AMA-7 from this node but perhaps not... so I will connect to another node first K9VSO-7 so I type c k9vso-7 What I see is this: ###LINK MADE ###CONNECTED TO NODE K9VSO-7(K9VSO) CHANNEL A KB9SOZ Monroe Center, Adams Co., Wi Sysop: Jim K9VSO ENTER COMMAND: B,C,J,N,X, or Help ? so now I type c ve1ama-7 and what I see is: ###LINK MADE [TNOS-3.01a1-BFHIMW$] I have now made it to VE1AMA-7 which is a TNOS node and BBS. I could do this with reduced power because I am relying on the other nodes to make the connection. As long as I could get into a node close to me then I can reach the world literally because VE1AMA-7 (and some other nodes) have AMPRNet / telnet links to Europe, Australia, Asia etc. From the VE1AMA-7 node I can type a command ports which means show me a listing of your ports Available ports: alw : alw : internet link - wa7v-8 itt : itt : internet link - i6qpl-7 hou : hou : internet link - vdagw noh : noh : internet link - k8ee har : HAR : internet link - ve2har-7 con : con : internet link - ve3con pma : pma : internet link - va3pma-7 mos : mos : internet link - ka0mos-7 ca : ca : amprnet link - kd6mtu oha : oha : internet link - k8khw gat : gat : internet link - ve2uqh-6 pkt : pkt : internet link - ve2pkt-4 nsb : nsb : internet link - ve1fyi-7 ppr : ppr : internet link - ve1ppr-7 zda : zda : internet link - ve3zda-7 uhf : uhf : UHF BackBONE hf : hf : * NETWORK 105 * vhf : vhf : 2m LAN Local Network Patrick, you can see there is a port called HF. If you were to telnet directly to telnet://ve1ama.ampr.org/ and log in with your callsign then you could use Burt's HF port just the same as if you had connected by RF. So to connect to K9VSO-7 you would type c hf k9vso-7 and now you would be on 20m HF in the USA!. Here is another example. There is a node called AURORA which I can reach first via HF and then VHF through W0TX-7. I use the command X to mean connect to a station on a VHF port.

Patrick, Sholto is the one who twisted my arm to revisit HF Packet. Net 105 is a remarkable network and one can only imagine how many messages have been processed since the 1980s'; all on a shared channel with a relatively narrow mode. I've used the network to connect to Sholto when there is no propagation between us. I can log into his packet mailbox and leave him a message thanks to magic of digipeating. Your program does a wonderful job on HF packet.
