Pirate Packet Radio Node CB0AFU

Hi, for those of you running a Packet Radio Link to CB0AFU: It seems it is *not* located in Chile but running a gateway to CB-Radio (through two links to Nodes in CB-Nodes in Austria). Can you please check in advance before running those links?

Also watch out when stations use an NL prefix, the CB stations in the Netherlands commonly use(d) that, so be careful to check if they are really from Alaska. Rob

The issue is only on my DNS server. I have a zone transfer from 44.in-addr.arpa and ampr.org, so a copy of the zones are located on my BIND server at 44.60.44.3 I've been using nslookup to look at the records from multiple machines. It only occurs on certain IPs where the fourth octet is less than 10. I'll try dig as well. - KB3VWG

I'm running BIND version 9.9.5 at 44.60.44.3.

BUT, some reverse records always time out. I have seen this many times and never have been able to solve it. Some ampr.org DNS servers time out on some PTR records. It comes and goes, can be OK for months and then come back. When you focus on it to debug the issue it often disappears under your hands. No idea what it is. Rob

There is no guarantee that 44/8 traffic is sourced from licensed radio amateurs. 2. There is no guarantee that 44/8 traffic is suitable for use over licensed amateur radio frequencies in $REGULATORY_DOMAIN. The only thing there is guaranteed about 44/8 is that is must be used for bona fide amateur radio purposes. What these purposes are, is loosely defined and open to interpretation. Guys, it's just IP space. The sooner we separate networking from IP space, the better IMO. -- Bryan Fields 727-409-1194 - Voice 727-214-2508 - Fax http://bryanfields.net

Odd DNS Issue
by lleachii＠aol.com 11 Oct '14

11 Oct '14

All, I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this issue. I'm running BIND version 9.9.5 at 44.60.44.3. I just recently upgraded from 9.8 because I thought it would solve a very weird issue that I'm experiencing. I allow all to to lookup 44.in-addr.arpa and ampr.org; and it works. BUT, some reverse records always time out. So far, I have tested the following IP addresses which have PTR records, but do not produce results: 44.102.1.1 44.102.1.2 44.108.1.1 44.108.1.2 44.108.1.3 44.60.44.1 44.60.44.2 44.60.44.3 44.60.44.6 44.60.44.7 The only pattern that I've discovered when a lookup times out, is that the fourth octet is always less than 10. I've checked the system log, and there is no denial for the DSN query. I was wondering if anyone had ideas/suggestions. Thanks and 73, Lynwood KB3VWG

Re: [44net] Call for : Extended Frequency Support
by Steve L 09 Oct '14

Well I know this obviously, but we did get a 180 degree sector up on a broadcast tower, so I have a bunch of newbies to microwave and networking in general to deal with. The consensus is to probably use the BBHN firmware as that is what the Emcomm and not so tech guys will have a liking to. So overall I don't think adding that kind of support to a ham rolled firmware is a bad idea if someone out there had the urge to try and figure it out. A few years back Ubiquiti AirOS supported those frequencies natively. So one wonders if one day even Mikrotik might have those features removed. Speaking of BBHN is there any kind of video showing the more nuts and bolts of it working for those of us who (or want to) understand things a bit deeper? A video that perhaps shows broadband hamnet speed test (FTP transfer to a localhost, etc) traceroutes to show hops when a node disappears or comes online broadband hamnet route command output when a node disappears Steve ---- Quote ----- If you want to get out of the part 15 jungle just use Mikrotik gear... It won't run HSMM mesh but that's not a bad thing if you don't want to pay the performance penalty of a mesh... Bill

Call for : Extended Frequency Support
by Steve L 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

Atheros Chipset Radios are capable of operation between 2312-2732, 4920-6100 MHz. The purpose of this message is to hopefully draw a few talented hams out of the wood work that can make a programming contribution to an the existing Broadband Ham Network firmware project. You can look at how the ham radio frequency allocations overlap the Part 15 bands here: http://www.qsl.net/kb9mwr/projects/wireless/allocations.html The Part 15 overlap where all consumer devices operate is heavily crowded, and thusly the noise floor is high hampering long range links that we as hams would like to establish. There are a couple third party solutions to enable the extended frequency support to be able to shift operations into the ham only portions of the bands. Neither of them presently have native OLSR support in addition to the extended frequency support. It would be highly desirable to see our own ham firmware support the extended frequency support. HSMM-Mesh / Broadband Hamnet Firmware In the Fall of 2008, a group of amateurs from the Texas area announced development of their own custom firmware for the WRT-54G to enable HSMM-Mesh networking. This is the first ham specific firmware build. It is also one of the first firmware builds to support OLSR, an ad-hoc wireless mesh routing daemon. Initially this ham firmware build was limited to the Linksys WRT54 series of wireless routers. In February 2014 the development team announced support for Ubiquiti 2.4 GHz devices. In July 2014 support was extended to Ubiquiti 5 GHz devices. I should clarify that this firmware does not yet support non-part 15 channels, aka, extended channels / custom frequencies. Nor does it yet support half-rate (10 MHz wide), or quarter-rate (5 MHz wide) bandwidth channels to accompany use on ham only spectrum. If you are knowledgeable with the Linux Kernel programming please consider reaching out to the development team. http://www.broadband-hamnet.org/download/firmware/ A discussion on the Broadband Hamnet / HSMM-Mesh ham firmware about using channels outside of the Part 15 space: http://www.broadband-hamnet.org/hsmm-mesh-forums/view-postlist/forum-1113/t… If we can develop the firmware that enables ham channels, Heikki Hannikainen OH7LZB presented at the 2013 DCC a way to authenticate the person who might like to download it is a ham. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7anDmQQfyu8 Video presentation from the DCC http://authtest.aprs.fi - authentication demo site https://github.com/hessu/ham-cert-web-demo - Apache configuration and PHP scripts
