B>I remember the good ol' days where you actually had a couple of
 >keyboard-to-keyboard QSOs daily.  We would often have UI conversations

  They've been doing a lot of work with the Arkansas Packet
Network...and setting up a system between hospitals for communication in
the event of a disaster. Unlike most other digital modes...packet is
ERROR FREE. Once they get the Harrison node back up, much of the state
will be covered...and I'll be able to again go to the N0KFQ BBS in
Branson, Missouri for their "PCL Net" (patience, as packet is slow...and
chicken lips >>> sent to let the NCS know you're done...similar to K on
CW). The net meets every Monday night at 7pm Central Time...net control
is usually KB0WSA.

Daryl, N5VLZ
