Oh, I am on ROS7/CHR. Is there a way to get it work on ROS7?

Subject: [44net] Re: IPIP tunnel for Mikrotik
The v3.1 scripts are for ROS up to 6.40, and the v3.2 scripts from ROS 6.41 up to the latest v6 releases.
The scripts do NOT work on ROS 7 due to the fact that the RIP handling changed and the RIP timers do not work correctly.

Hi
Has anyone setup the IPIP tunnel successfully in Mikrotik? I think the instruction in Wiki is written for ROS 2.0. Things has changed a lot and I have trouble following. I created the IPIP tunnel in the interface and not sure what to do next. I added my IP subnet to the IP tab. The RIP configuration menu is very different now.

This will, of course, be case dependent. In some cases, yes, it really
is asking too much. In other cases, no. Should the trustee be involved
at all? I would say that yes, they should. Some sort of proactive
means for them to acknowledge delegation seems reasonable. But there
ought to be a minimally invasive way for them to be, probably one that
doesn't involve the portal. Taking a step back and trying to examine
it from a holistic standpoint, it's about striking a balance between
validating the authority of using the call to prevent abuse, and the
bureaucratic hassle involved for the users/trustees.
Merely being a trustee requires very little administrative burden. As
I understand it, in the US, it can all be handled via mail through the
US postal service; occasionally one sends the equivalent of a postcard
to the FCC. That's it. This can obviously be done by nearly anyone,
including by folks who are not technical, don't use computers, etc. As
has been mentioned, e.g. by AE0JE, such people certainly exist.
And even where folks have the technical expertise to do this, they may
have neither the time nor the desire. As I mentioned earlier, I'm
pretty much the only one in my club pushing to make use of AMPRNet. No
one else particularly cares---I hope they will once they see how some
of the cool stuff one can do with it, but we're not there yet. Forcing
our callsign trustee to create an account on the portal, presumably
going through his own verification process (requiring tickets and so
on) all just for him to say, "yes, Dan can use the club's callsign to
request an allocation" sounds like a good way to make the project
stall indefinitely.
Being the trustee for a callsign does not really confer any additional
status on the person; among many clubs it's a minor chore taken on by
whatever member who agrees to do it, but the responsibility can be
passed around between different people over time. For instance,
consider what happens if the trustee moves and leaves the club, or
loses interest in radio, or (sadly) becomes an SK? The club doesn't
necessarily cease to exist, and the callsign is still perfectly valid,
but the trustee responsibility necessarily moves to someone else. This
must be accounted for in some way in whatever policy emerges around
this.

Ok, makes sense. It sounds like there is a ham responsible for maintaining
the node. Why couldn't you use that ham's callsign for DNS services?

I understand it's not a repeater, that's just the best analogy I have. We
have a similar system here, but it's not as well-known or widespread as
hamnet.
Usually, any DNS name that resolves to an IP is equivalent. Can you
elaborate on why you couldn't use a subdomain on a callsign?
Furthermore, could you address the questions regarding non-ham (IBM) use of
this system?

Hi Terence,
As I said previously in relation to subdomains - other formats will be considered on a case by case basis, if someone requests a subdomain that isn’t a call sign there are other ways of verifying the identify of the person should ARDC decide that the request is appropriate.

Terence,
I am not the most familiar with hamnet, although at some point, there has
to be a ham involved, right? The way repeaters typically work here is that
a ham or group of hams speaks to a building owner and asks for an agreement
to host a repeater and a little bit of rooftop space. That repeater is then
usually referred to by the callsign of the ham(s) who maintain it and have
the agreement with the building owner.
Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding, but does hamnet usually work in a
similar way? If so, couldn't the site be named pi90ibm.pd3t.ampr.org,
assuming you are the maintainer of that site?
If there isn't a ham involved at any step:
- How is it legal use of the amateur bands?
- Is it really a ham radio network at that point?

Chris and the group,
I don't yet see a thread for this one, please forgive me if I missed it.

2. In relation to point 1. How do we vet the person requesting access to
use an organisation’s call sign? This is really only an issue for US based
clubs as the call sign has a trustee listed on the ULS database, but it
would seem, that person is not always able/willing/interested in creating
an account on the portal to have the call sign verified. This certainly
needs more thought.
The ideal situation would be for the trustee to create an account on the
portal, verify the call sign, then hand it off to another member in the
organisation, i.e. once setup they do not have to be the POC for the call
sign - is this really asking too much of someone who has already agreed to
be the trustee, which arguably comes with such responsibilities?
--</snip>--
I agree with everything you say insofar as this would be the solution in
the ideal world. However, unfortunately, in cases like mine, this is not
always the case. I'll spare you the details, but the gist is that the
trustee has agreed to "hang on" to the callsign until we can get some
issues sorted (which is turning out to take over a year due to bureaucratic
processes). Our trustee is generally very busy, and to actively pursue the
process of getting portal-verified would be a big ask, and would likely
require a lot of nagging from me for it to ever get done. Likewise, many of
the administrative tasks of the club have been delegated to me, as I am
familiar with the processes and have the time to navigate them.
In the US, only the trustee has access to download the Official copy of the
club license through the ULS. Therefore, if someone presents an Official
copy of the license as verification material, one could be reasonably
confident that the trustee has entrusted them to act on the club's behalf.
While I don't believe that simply having the Official copy should grant
someone the "keys to the kingdom", a simple verification email to the club
and/or the trustee would be sufficient to ensure the delegate is acting in
good faith. It's important to note that getting verified in the portal and
a quick "Yep, permission granted!" reply to a verification email differ
significantly in magnitude.
Is anyone else in a similar situation, or had similar experiences that
could weigh in?

Hey Everyone, Below are some updates from this week regarding the 44Net
Portal:
**
**
As of today, about 36 new portal tickets remain (20% increase from last
week), and about 276 tickets are open and awaiting response (4% increase
from last week). Despite an increase in tickets from last week, the
number of new tickets and the number of tickets open/awaiting response
have either decreased within the last two weeks or have remained
constant (28% decrease and no significant change, respectively). Since
April 3, we have closed 675 tickets (6% increase from last week).
**
**
Earlier this week, Rosy KJ7RYV sent out an email about subdomain
updates. In an effort to unblock our current users, our temporary steps
forward are as follows:
* Anyone with an ampr.org subdomain prior to 4/3/2024 will, for now,
have full access to their DNS records, pending the required call
sign verification
* Once a call sign is verified, you can automatically create a
subdomain with the callsign.ampr.org format. Other requests that
fall outside of this format will require review and approval.
* Please note that, moving forward, we will be limiting the number of
subdomains outside of callsign.ampr.org and these current exceptions
are temporary.
**
**
Finally, as many of you have asked about ways to help with the portal:if
you come across something in the docs that’s not clear or intuitive, or
if you have other feedback, please let us know at newportal(a)ardc.net
<mailto:newportal@ardc.net>. The link to the portal docs can be found
here:
https://www.ardc.net/wp-content/uploads/portal-2.0-technical-documentation-….
**
**
As always, let us know if you have any questions!
**
**
73 and have a great weekend,

Chris, Thanks for steering things back on topic. I trust if I maintain civil discussions, all is well.Since we now understand privately Rosy in judgment of you position deferres to you technically, which I respect - I hope you now consider my simple 2 inquiries that began (what I understood) to be why I responded about one or two of my examle records that I'm having issues claiming (as the tickets are on hold for different reasons, one assuming I just accepted a categorical name change in lieu of my claim ticketS), where you mentioned a ticket - as follows:I have logged in and understand that the portal system says "with user".What I do not understand is this -Is there a policy in place?Will you then proceed to delete these "non callsign" entries once one it is implemented?I have some other things to discuss, like the server in the UK that till has high latency for users on other continents, etc. - I'll message you.- KB3VWG
Keep in mind at least in FCC land.- We have a time frame to file for callsign of related SK, etc.- "Memorial Clubs" that assume names, etc.Also, some resources were always to be assigned to the RACES or ARES callsigns after this infrastructure was completed (passed architect approval before this, but BGP/whatever tunneling will keep us compatible with all) may slow us.Likewise, e.g. they work in unison and just wanted you consider that when programming the backends of how callsigns work for users.I believe both in a programmatic workflow would refer to those like myself (e.g. aware of what your referencing) as neither trustee/president/Radio officer would directly answer. I thought of mentioning Point 2 here, but 1 seems more relevant. 73,- KB3VWG
