eQSO on 70.4125 was for a couple of weeks suffering
from static which now seems to have cleared up, but
its a shame that its still suffering from the
bleepers, its imposable for me to monitor the link
24/7 and turn of the link when this happens, to stop
annoyance in 101 English this link will now use CTCSS |
| |
|
for access although this option is always open and
may change at a later date, the RF panel above will show the
status of the links. |

Hi my name is Dave (nickname is Wiggy) and live
in Bromley Kent UK,
My interest with radio was back in 1979 with
CB (Citizen's Band Radio);
in 1986 I was
licensed with the
callsign G1WYG and G0WYG in 1995. My
first experience with digital modes was with
RTTY and a spectrum 48k, I then heard about
Packet radio and in late 1988 I started out this
time with a commodore 64 and digicom modem,
sitting up half the night chatting and typing
away with one of my old mates Brian G7AML (now
G0NXL) Check out his website
Here
as the packet bug grew I decided to buy my first
PC and use the same digicom modem but modified
to work on the PC with Baycom software, then i
was hooked the packet radio network took off in
a big way so I setup a network node called Wiggy
(hence the nickname) on multiple ports with 2
internal 4 port RLC100 cards and external Tnc's,
when I got my second PC the headaches really
started, networking the 2 computers one running
the node with FBB and BPQ (DOS) and the other
running a Nos chatnode called sekent, after more
than 10 years on packet with a few blown up
radios and hard disk failures etc it was
noticeable that the packet network was becoming
less popular so after a big decision I decided
to close Wiggy and sekent nodes down. With all
the hardware lying around I heard about UiView
(APRS on 144.800) so I gave that a go after a
few years I closed the digipeater on UiView to
make way for my new venture Internet Linking.
Computers have been a part of the ham shack for
many years now for logging, cw, packet, and
other digital modes, so it was inevitable that
amateur radio and the Internet should meet, that
sparked the interest in ham radio communication
via the Internet. A small group of pioneers have
combined amateur radio and cyberspace in a very
direct way, creating new global gateways. DX
contacts are possible through local repeaters or
simplex links and conversely a distant repeater
is available through your computer.
I now hold 6 NOV's (Notice
of Variation)
for
voice-over-IP (VoIP internet linking). |
