So, everyone out in 44net land, how are things?
After one month since the "cut-over":
- are the coordinators allowed to coordinate fully?
- are the requestors allowed to be assigned a non-.32/.61/63 address?
- is everyone "trusted" enough to use the portal freely/fully again?
Inquiring minds, and those waiting for an allocation, want to know.

Hello everyone,
I've had a 44net account for a while now and I've played with both setting up OpenWRT, several Linux VMs, and a Cisco 1900 (with limited knowledge and testing from work when we got fancy ISR4443's) but never actually achieved anything. Previously I read that to achieve BGP connectivity something had to be done with the ISP to allow the AS route to be announced/routed so that may have been another roadblock. Also with the whole IPIP based traffic, you can only have a limited number of devices unless you start working nat-magic and throw everything behind the same ip.
Personally, I'm more familiar with VPN-based tunneling back to an endpoint and the datacenter/carrier-based router would announce the /24 route based on the status of the tunnel/ip and would not actually need to involve the non-rfp'd local carrier at all. As long as traffic could be passed through a tcp port, the connection could be made.
Are there any opportunities with IPSEC/SSL/OpenVPN or even SDWAN endpoints joining the network instead of needing a router and formal networking knowledge to do the same? I just keep running into the same issues with 44net even though I can muster along and setup my work sites with good old IPSEC tunnels and locking the service down.
Thanks,
KD8SEP

I have been asked to participate in a conference call with ARDC staff
regarding the concerns about the portal cut-over. If there are any items
that you would like me to bring up during the call (not scheduled yet),
please email me directly at n2nov(a)n2nov.net with it.

I guess it can be called the "Friday Funnies" and full of marketing hype.

Hi
I am wondering if the outgoing traffic can go through the IPIP tunnel
gateway? After adding DNS record to my 44net ip, I can successfully ping
my 44net IP. But when I try to run outbound traffic, for example ping -c
3 -I tunl0 1.1.1.1 It won't work. I am wondering how to initiate
connections on the Debian 12.
Thanks

I just received this news this morning (nearly 2 weeks after).
-------- Forwarded Message --------
Subject: [OpenDV] John Hays K7VE SK
Date: Sun, 28 Apr 2024 05:54:08 -0700
From: Jonathan Naylor via groups.io <naylorjs=yahoo.com(a)groups.io>
To: OpenDV(a)groups.io
My friend John Hays K7VE died unexpectedly on April 16th. The Facebook
algorithms didn't see fit to show me this information and I had to be
told days later by Jim KI6ZUM. Instead FB insisted on feeding me pages
that I don't follow, rather than stuff that matters to me. Anyway I digress.
I knew John pretty well. He had been an early supporter of my software,
and my first dealing with him were in Autumn 2009 only a few months
after the release of my first D-Star and FM repeater software, and
before it was in widespread use. Many of our emails were about the poor
performance of the then popular GMSK modems and what we could do about
them, as well as more software related items.
Once I had released the ircDDB Gateway in Autumn 2010 he moved his
repeater, then based on an Icom repeater stack, over to use it rather
than Icom's G2 software. The next few years would see many more emails
being eschanged as I enhanced my software and he suggested changes,
reported bugs, etc. John came up with the idea for StarNet which is
still included with the ircDDB Gateway.
I first physically met John in 2014 as I was to attend Hamvention as a
guest of NWDR, which was John and Bryan Hoyer at the time. We manned a
booth at the old Hara arena, and despite being used to Ham Radio in
Friedrickshafen, nothing could prepare me for the onslaught of
Hamvention. I had a great time, and by the time that Sunday rolled
around, I was burned out! Too much of a good thing I suppose.
John backed off a bit with my software with the release of the MMDVM. He
wasn't happy with me supporting purely commercial protocols like DMR. It
was indeed ironic that I got my first DMR radio at that very Hamvention
from Jerry Wanger of CSI, and I also crossed swords with the DMR-MARC
guys, which strongly encouranged me to go down the route that would
become the MMDVM a little while later.
Since then I would see John at various shows, and then after Covid when
things had more or less returned to normal, I saw him at Ham Radio in
2022, and 2023 manning the ARDC stand. I also saw him at Pacificon in
October 2023 which would turn out to be the last time I saw him. We
would sit and have long conversations about development work and
potential projects. I was very much looking forward to seeing him at
Hamvention in a few weeks.
Rest in peace John, it was an honour to be your friend.

Hello all,
Has anybody else requested a new IPv4 subnet space allocation via BGP since the new portal has been released?
I'm asking this because I've requested on 18th of this month a new one, and until today no answer or update on the ticket.
I've tried to reach out to Chris directly, but I had no answer on my previous email.
I'm just wondering if anybody else had it's request resolved, since I had another 1-2 tickets opened and resolved after 1-2 days, and this one is still unassigned and in the new state.
I do apologize in advance if this is a stupid question, but since my other tickets were resolved "quickly", I thought to ask if somebody else had requested and received a response.
Have a lovely weekend ahead and 73's!
Thanks,

Hello,
If I use the line from the Wiki below in order to retrieve the file via API
(and convert it back to the text forma), I get a parsing error - presumably
from jq. If I download only the file taking jq out of the equation, it's
not a json file, but rather, a HTML file. I assume that's why there's a
parsing error when jq reads it. Is the info from the Wiki out of date?
Thanks,

Hello,
Being a former director on two 501(c)3's (and who volunteered and heard nothing) - I took time to review the annual reports. I have some questions.
Who would I direct those to?
e.g. (but not limited to)
- I noted the 501(c)3 annual report on the website did not note receipts/donations, only outgoing funds as "granting" "projects"- I'd like to see you Public Filings and any required by California - or the Regents System, etc. as applicable, etc.- Your 2023 IRS Form 990-PF not yet posted to your website - I await viewing it
Thanks and 73,
- LynwoodKB3VWG
I'm not seeing any changes to the RIP broadcasts (seems to be stuck at
843 lines for last couple of days).
Also can't download encap file from portal.ampr.org/api/v1/encap (should
existing API key still work?)
