WICEN Vic: //WL2K HF net at Pajero

[John and Bronwyn Morrissey]

Hi Mark, Dirk

Another proven option for email is the Pactor system.

I will have the system with me (I always bring it), and there are 3 network
stations (gateways) which run 24/7 with good coverage into this area.  

My own network station has very good 24 hrs coverage for this area and we
have other options too (frequency / location).  I will make sure I leave it
in high power (400W) mode. 

I will be setting up early as I am also setting up the repeater for the
first part of the course and I will be at that location at least until very
late Saturday with the option to stay longer.   

If AWI can nominate some email addresses tomorrow (or even tonight), I can
easily mail them. 


Cheers,   John VK3ZRX

I'm planning to try and poll the DPW and MIT gateways from the Pajero on 
Saturday evening.

Paul W, can I just clarify your comments below? Where do I nominate the MPU?

Mark.
