why is that? the area has not been echolisted in ages... roy removed all of his
echos from the echolist after a snit/fight with a previous echolist operator...
he did not add them to the echolist when the new operator took over the list...
being carried by the backbone is different than being carried by distribution systems... it is a subtle but important difference...

with all of that said, yes, i agree... someone should step up and pick up the echo(s) to keep them alive and hopefully not anyone who has tried to steal them
away from roy in the past...

David,

Hey my friend, just testing my connection to FidoNet after my hub
went down due to Florance. Got me 59?

Sorry for the delay in replying. I shut the BBS down in mid-September,
to prepare for a move back to my Mom's place from my apartment (she's
now in a nursing home). I've had router and internet issues, and still
have to get a ton of stuff to get unpacked. The Technician is coming by
in the morning.

But, if I can't get the wx1der.dyndns.org deal to work anymore, I'll
be forced to abandon the VADV-PHP website (which I liked much better
than Synchronet's web interface), and use the default Synchronet
interface, which I consider bland compared to VADV-PHP.

My QWK mail packet was 2131k, so I've got a lot of mail to read before bed...but I may skip a lot of it....since I have an early wake-up call.
After the Technician gets done, I may drive the 30 miles to Lonoke to
visit my Mom. I've been so busy with other things that I haven't had a
chance to get over there. Plus, I don't want to drive over there if the
weather is bad...and we have a risk of severe storms here Halloween and Halloween night.

I may have different ones for the various networks, but except for the network name, the rest is the same.

With all the stress I've been under over the last month with moving
back to my Mom's home, getting her into a nursing home, dealing with the finances surrounding it, and then with modem/router/internet issues, I'm
going to have a lot of catching up to do on the BBS. My QWK packet was

Well, I lost my Dad almost 12 years ago now, and my wife died 2 1/2
months after he did. I'll have a ton of work after my Mom dies, but at
least I have her house, her car, and my possessions. I doubt she'll ever
come home from the nursing home (she's 92), and there's no way she can

the pits dug, we ran some penetration tests to see how firm the soil material is at that point... one of our holes was 25 feet (7.62 meters) deep... some grueling work at times climbing up and working on the

PS: you really need to get your fidonet system somehow connected to

I know but first of all I'm in no hurry to get messages faster because I
won't get more time to do them and I have no users that wont other areas
than I carry, but I actually have a more modern machine to set in after I
can find/get hold of PCI card containing a PS/2 mouse socket.

Whatever else there is on that card won't matter because the one I have
does have only one USB port and an IrConnector in addition to the PS/2.

As a last resort I could use an USB mouse but that leaves only 2 USB's
for other uses on the 3-port USB card.

ARRL usually sent a bulletin specifying its operating hours for bulletin bradcasts but it hasn't arrived yet even though we are today at the
first sunday of november.

What are those test pits for?

to know what the soil material is like and how much weight it can
hold as well as the moisture content... all this for the foundations
and concrete pads the structures will be built on...

Those kinds of projects and tests are done here too. Bed-rock isn't too
far down here but you have to be careful to reach that for foundation.

Some architects are dreaming of creating a floating island of houses.
The problem here is that the city is built on a narrow point of land and
can only expand north and south.

However in the north there is a rural district that is growing by itself
and to the south are islands that are or can be reached by bridges.

PS: you really need to get your fidonet system somehow connected to

I'm on my way. Yesterday I found and bought a 4-port USB PCI-card and a
USB mouse. Now I have to find/buy USB extensions that allows me to reach
two ports from the front. I can't creep to the back of the machine every
time I want to reach an USB port.

you do know that USB HUBs exist, right? you plug on into a USB port
and now you have more USB ports... IIRC, USB can handle up to 256
devices on each port/channel...

I have learnt that it's not that simple. I have a floppy unit that
connects to a laptop. On one laptop it can only read the files but
isn't able to write on the disk's because the current available from
the USB port isn't enough to write to the diskette.

The solution is of course to use two ports to supply the current by
using a Y-extension that connects to two ports and then to the floppy
drive.

I'm going to move all files that are on floppys now to USB-sticks.


Have a nice day,

Holger

Holger,

ARRL usually sent a bulletin specifying its operating hours for bulletin HG>bradcasts but it hasn't arrived yet even though we are today at the
first sunday of november.

They usually don't send it until the first business day after the time
change occurs. It likely will be out later today sometime.

Good evening Mark,

as i'm reading this, yes it is... as i write this it is 20:34 -0400... today has been a long day... we had to dig test pits in raw woods/forest today... lots of vines and undergrowth making it hard for the excavator to get through to the test points... once they got the pits dug, we ran some penetration tests to see how firm the soil material is at that point... one of our holes was 25 feet (7.62 meters) deep... some grueling work at times climbing up and working on the slopes in those conditions...

I'm also glad to see one area after another come back to life again.
Since Florence and other weather disasters only the SYSOP echo has
been alive.

SYSOP? hummm... i know there are several sysop echos but i remember one being dropped by its moderator long ago... i may be thinking of another SYSOP echo, though...

PS: you really need to get your fidonet system somehow connected to the internet so you can get messages faster and be connected to more systems for messages... sadly i'm no longer doing POTS connections but do have tentative plans to look into doing such with my new setup...

we lost power for about a day at our house, and 2 days so far at work.

I was on a Zoom Meeting with the Portage County Amateur Radio Service
(PCARS) Club in Ohio last night. Right after they drew the 50/50 (the
winner wasn't me, but he donated it back to the club), my power went out!!
I had to email one of the officers, noting "my disappearance wasn't due to
my going off in a temper tantrum, because I didn't win...but apparently,
some idiot took out a power pole. It was out for 5 minutes in total. I'm
going my nets via the Verizon Mi-Fi and the laptop, in case that happens
again.

Hello Don,

May I ask, what was "a morse intercept operator"?

Hi Dennis - sure! In the US Army my MOS was 05H which the Army
described as "Performs detection, acquisition and exploitation of
foreign communications employing International Morse Code and simple
printer systems in a tactical or strategic environment." Whew! that
was long winded.

Basically I was trained to intercept morse code being sent by
foreign governments. I sat in a radio shack and searched the bands
for specific morse traffic. I was trained to intercept chinese cut
characters, but ended up copying east bloc traffic.

These messages were always encoded, so unless I copied a cleartext
code word, the job entailed listening to morse in front of a
teletype printer and hitting the keys as I heard the characters.
Always in groups of 5 characters with 5 groups then a spacing and 5
more groups of 5 characters. Of course I would always get the tail
end IMI SK.

I just copied the morse, someone else worked to unencrypt the
messages. Doesn't sound very exiting right? Training for this was
INTENSE. Took longer than 6 months depending on the trainee, and
there were a lot of drop outs.

When I got out of the service, I tried to find a job sending or
receiving IMC, but the only place that really used it was the
maritime service. That didn't pan out.

Sorry for the long winded reply...

* Origin: Diamond Mine Online BBS - bbs.dmine.net:24 (1:275/89)

I got licensed in 1998, but have only been active on hf since field day
of 2018 or so.

The last time I operated HF was on the Arkansas and Missouri Railroad Memorial Day Troop Train in late May, 2009. We were in a very cramped Conductor's Cabin of a restored 1927 Harlan and Hollingsworth passenger
car, operating an Icom IC-718 (the get your feet wet in HF, and no frills
HF rig), with a 20 meter hamstick antenna attached to the rear of the
car. How I pulled some of those stations out of the weeds on 20 meters,
I'll never know.

One ham (now a silent key) couldn't get any contacts, and so his wife
(also licensed, and still alive as far as I know), got on there, and we
were hauling in Pennsylvania like there was no tomorrow!! As soon as she
got off, the band went dead (hi hi). You can go to my bio on QRZ (look
for WX4QZ), and click on the first hyperlink. From there, you'll go to a
page with things like:

1) Excel Spreadsheets of selected D-Star, Echolink, and D-Rats Nets, in Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific Time.

2) PDF files related to ham radio.

One of those is my ham radio bio, and in it, is a link on YouTube where
I was working that Special Event Station, 20 meter HF Railroad Mobile. I
now do a Trains And Railroads Net every Friday at 8pm US Eastern Time, on
the QuadNet Array. My eQSL card has a picture of a SOO Line Steam Locomotive
at Random Lake, Wisconsin, courtesy of Mike Yuhas, AB9ON (he has a large
amount of train photos at mikeyuhas.org). The alternate phonetics stand
for "Whistled X-ings (crossings) for Quiet Zones". Some railroads use the letter W for a whistle post to warn the engineer of a highway railroad
crossing ahead...and some use X for "crossing". The letters QZ stand for
"quiet zone". The train doesn't sound the locomotive horn, except in 4 instances:

A) Meeting a train on another track.

B) Maintenance Of Way (MOW) crews working in the area (usually a "slow
order" is in place).

C) Someone is trying to beat the train across at the railroad crossing.

D) Someone is trespassing on the railroad right of way.

Mainly I operate cw and voice every once in a while. I live in a HOA
area so I just have a simple dipole I put up for weekend operating most
of the time.

I used to live in HUD subsidized housing for the disabled, but moved
back to what was my parent's home when I put my Mom into a nursing home
in mid-2018...congestive heart failure took her life in early August, 2019.

Her late brother (who has been a silent key for 30 years) was the only
other ham radio operator in the family, and the youngest engineer hired
on by the Penn Central Railroad.

It's kind of strange when you look at it, I think you're job was
probably harder than mine. As an O5H, they crammed all that info
into my head in about 6-9 months and I can still sit at the keyboard
and copy code, it's muscle memory. Hear the code, hit the keys.

Your job sounds harder to me, you actually had to do some problem
solving! Just a quick aside, what was your MOS?

Long time no see on the BBS de N4DLT

I barely have time for my own BBS. I was diagnosed with congestive
heart failure just over a year ago, and after that 3rd Covid-19
booster last November, I've had very little energy. I'm seriously
considering skipping any other boosters (although I've had the two
initial shots, and three boosters). However, I haven't undergone the
Redneck Covid-19 test.

This is where you take your favorite bottle of wine (you might want
it chilled). Pour some into a glass, then bring it up to your nose,
and take a sniff. If you can smell the flavor, take a sip. If you can
taste it, you're negative for Covid-19 -- repeat the test as many times
as necessary (hi hi).

Combine that with degenerative disk disease in my back and spine
(which I've had for the last 6 years), making it difficult to sit at
the computer for either BBS or website work, or for running my ham
radio traffic nets (except for Wednesday and Thursday, I run at least
1 net every other day in the week). It got so bad that I had to cut
the pre-net checkin time to only 30 minutes instead of an hour.

If I take Tylenol caplets (the strongest pain medication I have) for
the pain, I get very groggy, and can pass out during the net...so,
basically I have to suffer. Getting old is not for sissies, and if
you call me a sissy, I'll hit you with my purse (hi hi).

Two of the nets that I run for the QCWA (Quarter Century Wireless Association)...their Sunflower Net on Saturday morning, and their
Digital Net on Sunday afternoon, offer "an extended checkin window"
via email and Facebook...from 30 minutes before the net starts, to
25 hours after that point. This way, I'm not rushed to prepare the
log, and it lets the stragglers get on the log, but if they checkin
after the net officially closed, I note such on the log. I know that
many nets do NOT offer things like pre-net or post-net checkins...if
you are not there when the net is in operation, you don't get logged;
whether you like it or not.

There are too many nets, and too little time. I maintain an Excel
Spreadsheet of selected D-Star, D-Rats, and Echolink Nets, plus PDF
files related to amateur radio, at http://www.wx4qz.net/elk.htm

There are over 200 nets in a month...basically, too many nets, and
too little time. In one time slot, there are 6 nets meeting at the
same time!! But, I've noted many hams that are what I call "Hi, Bye,
and QSY"...it's "Net Control, please checkin [callsign], [name],
[location], short time, no traffic"...and not a minute later, they
are doing the exact same thing on another net. A fellow net control
operator wondered "do they have a life outside of ham radio??". There
is no prize, bonus, award, reward, certificate, etc., for seeing how
many nets you can make in a day...never mind how many BBS's you can
logon to in a day. To me, health takes priority over hobbies.

In short, I barely have the effort some days to update the ham
radio and weather data on the BBS, let alone do QWK Mail, or play
the doors.

That's all. The main thing is to confirm you are a ham operator.

Study the help menus by typing ?

You will be connected to a node.

One option is to go to a node.

Check out the main page at cwnet.org and you will see the terminal. no www, just cwnet.org
