Hi. As you all know, Brian Kantor WB6CYT passed away suddenly last
month. Brian did so much for AMPRNet from the very beginning that he'll
be impossible to fully replace. We're trying but it's hard, especially
since he was a close personal friend.
Chris Smith, G1FEF (chris(a)g1fef.co.uk) has kindly volunteered to take
over Brian's portal work and to handle portal and BGP allocation
requests. Please direct queries to him.

To learn the routing protocol, I created an Amazon EC2 instance of a Linux
Ubuntu router inside a virtual private cloud (VPC) where I have full
control over IP and can open 0.0.0.0/0 in both directions over all
protocols (EC2 without a VPC only permits TCP/UDP/ICMP access control).
When I run the daemon in verbose mode it is stuck calling home:
ubuntu@ip-192-168-44-12:~$ sudo ampr-ripd -d -v -L KZ0FOX@EM89mx
Using metric 0 for routes.
Using TCP window 840 for routes.
Using gateway 192.168.44.1 for direct 44net endpoints via interface eth0.
Calling home
Waiting for RIPv2 broadcasts...

This system is online in the portal as 3.135.62.22 (
ec2-3-135-62-22.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com) and subnet 44.76.0.12/32.
Setting up a reference implementation like this one may be good for
learning the basic premise and ability to test out a configuration with
less variables than one may have at home with an ISP.
I welcome any constructive comments or suggestions.
Best regards,
Stephen Thomas
Very sad news. I was talking to him just the other day. What a shock. My condolences to his family and those close to him. As busy as I imagine he must have been, he always had time to help.

Brett:
Thank you for your decades of service to one of the digital sides of
amateur radio.. My jnos convers server has been linked to wa7v for many
years 24/7 and I am most grateful that you have been able to provide a
gateway and for all the work you have done.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours.

Good day,
I am looking for a smtp gateway where I will be able to send mail from
my jnos (va2om.ampr.org) to the internet.
Any taker?
Happy Holiday!.

Hello, 44net ops,
An assortment of circumstances have gradually led me to the decision to
terminate the WA7V gateway/BBS and related services at College
Place/Walla Walla, Washington, USA.
Services are scheduled to go offline on Monday, December 30, at
approximately 00:00 UTC (Sunday afternoon/evening in the Americas).
These services include:
* Hub_NA saupp convers hub
* ALWGW:WA7V-8 NOS Gateway/BBS
* ALWBBS:WA7V FBB BBS
* ALWHUB:WA7V-4 UROnode
* PNW:WA7V-2 (X)Net Router
I believe we have a replacement lined out for Hub_NA. I should have a
confirmation shortly, and another announcement will be following.
It's been an interesting 2+ decades for me, and I'm very grateful to a
number of extremely bright and motivated hams around the world who have
contributed so much in advancing the all-encompassing art of amateur
radio. I've been the undeserving recipient of their creativity,
expertise, time and energy. For most it is a labor of love, and
certainly not something that has put any bread on their tables. To those
amateurs, I heartily say, "thank you!"
Thanks for your links, chats, assistance and friendship! We'll see what
the future holds. :)
Merry Christmas, and happy holidays!

I'm running into an interesting problem I thought maybe someone in this community would have run into before.
We're working on a project to redesign and re-IP our entire radio network. Part of the goal is to stop using OpenVPN and IPSec tunnels (long story) and move exclusively to GRE-based tunnels. The plan is to have two Linux VPS hosts running at a provider with our 44Net allocation and an IPv6 allocation advertised and then routed into the radio network over GRE tunnels to 3 different locations that are all backhauled together. One of the primary goals is to do dual-stack throughout the network.
I have one site setup working perfectly - "gre0". It's passing IPv4 and IPv6 traffic over the GRE tunnel. One *key* point to this is that the GRE connection endpoints are iPv6. IPv4 isn't doable for this connection (again, long story but not an option). When setting up the second GRE tunnel "gre2", nothing would work even though the configuration was the same EXCEPT for the fact that the second GRE tunnel was using IPv4 addresses for the GRE tunnel endpoints. Linux keeps spitting out a very odd error when I try to ping across the tunnel I cannot find reasonably documented anywhere:
ip6_tunnel: gre2 xmit: Local address not yet configured!
The key was the "ip6_tunnel" part that took me awhile to figure out. After experimenting, I've found that if I have one GRE tunnel using IPv6 endpoints (ip -6 tunnel add gre0 mod ip6gre) and one using IPv4 endpoints (ip tunnel add gre2 mode gre), only the gre0 tunnel will work and the gre2 tunnel seems to believe it's missing an IPv6 address. If I delete the gre0 tunnel, the gre2 tunnel immediately beings working with both IPv4 and IPv6 traversing the GRE. I cannot find any documentation that describes this behavior or why it would be the case.
I can't switch to IPIP tunnels because I haven't found a way to do a dual-stack tunnel between the endpoints - seems like you can only do one IPIP tunnel between two endpoint IPs regardless of type (ipip, ipip6, ip6ip6, sit)
Anyone have any deep wisdom on GRE tunnels?

Hello Everyone,
It was very sad news hear to about Brian Kantor passing as he was my
AMPR Coordinator mentor and I imagine *the* mentor for many of us. As
we need to push on with out him, it's unclear on what is the chain of
succession for everything that Brian did. I ask this as I have a new
interested member looking for a BGP allocation and this process was
always processed through Brian to deal with the vetting process,
processing the AMPR Letter of Authority, etc. Can someone from the ARDC,
etc. tell me who to contact if I have questions, next steps once I get
all the required details, etc?

Hello everyone. I've had a two address allocation for a while and I'm
just now getting things setup.
Just wondering if anyone has some info on (our point me to a wiki page)
on getting one of my IP's setup on my home network using TELUS internet
(Canada)? I would like to say I'm not new to networking but for some
reason I'm not at my best.
My plan is to try and setup some rudimentary networking using a simplex
frequency between my remote location and my home base. For now I'm
going to use 9600 baud UHF just to get things working. I know this will
be incredibly slow but I want to try anyway. I may move up to the GHz
range later. Biggest thing is I would like to get internet access using
the 44 net for field day. This will be in hopes of setting up for
emergency situations.
Currently I'm just working on this by myself and would like to get a
proof of concept going before I demonstrate this to anyone else.
Thanks for your help
