Packet Radio - Northern VA

My KPC-9612+ can hear the following packet nodes in and around Northern Virginia:

In the picture you can see N4YXM connected to my PBBS :)

Chuck and I have been trying to get packets (mail) routing between us, I bet this was fun before the internet and its SMTP email systems took over!

I discovered that Virgina is still using and supporting packet radio.

I am testing to other packet nodes in my area with a Kantronics KPC-9612+ and a Yaesu FT-2900R.

It is interesting just how far 5 watts can go at 1200 baud, and that is only the initial testing phase.

My antenna is an attic mounted clone of an Arrow 2m/70cm j-pole.

Back to my testing...
