The ke6i.ampr.org BBS.

145.71Mhz 9600 		-- Main user point. 
145.75Mhz 1200		-- 1200 baud connection to w6yx.
433.43Mhz 9600		-- 9600 baud connection to w6yx.
223.72Mhz 1200 		-- 1200 baud BBS forwarding port and
			connection to netrom network for Northern CA.

The BBS runs F6FBB and is registered as a full-service BBS.  Currently I don't
get much BBS traffic forwarded to me, but it all seems to work basically.
I have an RF port to N6EEG which is the hub for most of the BBS's in the
SF Bay area.  I have a small 4 element 220mhz Beam, on an antenna pointed
right at the BBS.  You can connect from the internet, though it's set to only
allow users to post SYSOP messages from interent connections -- basically to prevent
hackers from uploading illegal messages to the BBS around here.   If you
connect using RF, you'll have full use of the BBS.  

Right now the BBS supports 9600 baud on 145.71.  I have actually tested this
using  second MFJ data radio, and it does actually seem to work.  As a 
matter of fact, I've connected using a sound card at 9600.  That is a regular
sound card and the SV2AGW software.   Basically, my suggestion is to not
be afraid of 9600, even if you don't have all the equipment to tweak it
up perfectly, becuase for the most part, it just basically works.  
If you have trouble connecting to this or any questions, give me a call here
at 510-848-5211 or email me at cathryn@junglevision.com.  I'll try to fix
the problem, or set you up so it works good.   I may end up putting
a pre-amp on this system, since the MFJ receiver isn't supposed to be
so good.  Right now, the system has a DCI 2m 144-146Mhz filter on it.
Mainly, because I'm nervous about intermod, and figure that whatever
I can do to keep RF out of that receiver and transmitter the better off
I am.

I currently connect to  the 1200 and 9600  baud ports at w6yx.ampr.org.  Check out their
web site at w6yx.stanford.edu.	They forward packets to and from the internet
across the SF Bay from Stanford in Palo Alto to hear in Berkeley.  Sometimes,
for some reason I don't understand, the connection is better than others.  I may
also have some kind of moisture problem in my antenna.	Their signal will be
stronger or weaker depending on propagation.  This allows me to receive email at
ke6i@ke6i.ampr.org, via ham radio.  You might see ke6i.ampr.org, 44.4.28.50 in
their logs.  It's pretty cool, though the 1200 baud port is really slow.  For
email, this actually works pretty good, since the sendmail program will keep
retrying until the connection is good.

The antenna is a 2m/440 Ringo antenna, connected via about 30 feet of 9913f.
I bought a whole role of 9913f, and use it for everything.  And, for 2m, it
actually makes sense.  The radio is a very old tr7730, which runs at 45 watts
on 2m.	It has no PL tones, which makes it not so useful as a mobile, but
this old radio has very good audio, and is very much immune to IMD.  I swear,
sometimes I think the intermod problem is caused more by poorer quality
radios than by increased use of VHF, though I could be wrong.

If you try connecting to the BBS and it doen't work, try waiting a bit, and
connecting again later.  Sometimes, I use the 145.75 port to monitor the
DX cluster -- so I can find out all the stations that the guys with big
beams on 40m hear, which are completely not there for me and my vertical.
Also, there's a chance that the 1200 baud port is congested and that one or
other end is timing out for this reason.  I have some extra content over there
in the ALL message area, so there is some stuff to read.
