Ole Virginia Hams Packet Nodes

The club's packet nodes provide connection services to bulliten boards and other packet services in the area. Currently running in a temporary mode, look for W4OVH-1 (mailbox) and W4OVH-7 (KANode) on 145.73 Mhz. The W4OVH/OVH NetRom nodes will hopefully return to the air soon.

The N4SV/BBSNVA and MANAS node packet systems are currently down but hopefully will return soon. N4SV does have a TNC-based mailbox and KANode currently running, look for N4SV-1 (mailbox) and N4SV-7 (KANode) on 145.73Mhz. Many new and exciting things are on the horizon for Ham radio digital data, most notible of which is the new work being done with the D-STAR systems. Check the ICOM web site for details on D-STAR, and if you are in the market for a new VHF/UHF radio consider a D-STAR complaint or D-STAR capable one.
