Hi All,
For info for those who knew Sam Scafe, VK4AA, who was the Australian
AMPRnet Co-ordinator.
SILENT KEY: - Samantha Scafe VK4AA
Samantha went Silent Key on Saturday March 22nd at home in
Cairns following complications from cellulitis interacting with a
compromised respiratory system. Samantha had recently been
in hospital a number of times but appeared to be improving
before her health took a final dive. Samantha was one of the
pioneers of Packet Radio networking in Queensland being one
of the first to introduce the concept of data wormholes with the
Aussie Wide Packet Radio Network. A move from the Gold Coast
to Cairns found Samantha’s business become a ISP and Web
Host/Design concern, including providing the backup site for the
WIA News and QNEWS data files. Samantha and partner
Colleen were also well known in autosports circles as CAMS
Stewards, with many RadioAmateurs interacting with them at
rallies and hillclimbs. Samantha also ran the Cairns APRS
gateway for years and provided technical support for repeater
builders around the country. The Australian Amateur Radio
Service has suffered a great loss with Samantha’s passing and
we pass on heartfelt condolences to partner Colleen and family.
Vale Samantha Scafe VK4AA, Silent Key.

As a result, VK needs someone with AMPRnet and TCP/IP kwowledge and
experience to volunteer to take on this role. If you think you are able to
do this, or know someone who possibly could, please contact Chris, G1FEF
asap.
Currently VK does not have anyone to do the day to day co-ordination or
issuance of 44. addresses.

Tom,
It sounds like you're referring to delegated RPKI:
https://www.arin.net/resources/manage/rpki/delegated/
I assume this could be done, but it would still have to be set up
through ARIN first - just as in the case of hosted RPKI.

Hi Guys
Looking for a UK compatible modem/router/DSL to use with TalkTalk. I can
then switch off ALL firewall nat and filtering and pass ALL traffic through
to my pfSense router/firewall and allow the usual 4 and 93 and ICMP.
Waiting with hope in the heart

Hello all,
In 2018 I requested and received a /24 allocation and permission to announce it via BGP. My ISP/NSP, MonkeyBrains.net, very graciously agreed to route it to my house as part of my normal residential service. (Quite amazing!)
Now, however, they’ve sent me an unusual request (but they are excited about it): can I please setup RPKI for my IP allocation, authorizing them (MonkeyBrains) permission to advertise the block? Full quote below:
> Hi Jermy,

> We advertise a /24 for AMPRNET. Please setup a ROA record on ARIN authorizing us to advertise that block. (We just learned how to do this for our IPs yesterday and are exctied about RPKI.

I don’t think this is going to work as I don’t _OWN_ my block. It is licensed to me for a 5 year period. As such, there’s no record of my allocation with ARIN, and hence, nothing that I can assign.
Do any of you network gurus have a sufficiently technically advanced response I can give the ISP for their request?

Has anyone got ampr 44net ipencap working.?
I have a node running Linux/uronode/ax25/netrom/fbb and ampr-ripd. This
then feeds into the pfsense box.
AX25/Netrom/fbb are all working fine.
I think I have IPENCAP on the firewall directed to the Node 198Lan address.
All help very happily received.

True! I have mentioned many times that it is best to filter incoming protocol-4 based on a list of valid gateway addresses,
and also to filter traffic from those tunnels with filters allowing only AMPRnet addresses (except from amprgw when you use that to receive traffic from internet).
We can only hope that this "discovery" and CERT registration will not lead to broad "protocol 4 blocks" by ISPs and transit providers, as has happened with NTP traffic when that was the topic.
Maybe another motivation to move from the IPIP mesh to something more modern?

Charles, thank you for confirming muy membership in the group.
I am very interested in using a ham radio to connect to the internet.
What equipment do I need and what do I need to do?
