Brian,
Can you send me the email or instructions for AMPR assignments. Not used it

Hello all,
I like to share recent application that allows via HTML access to
jnos2 nntp news.
It does reading, replying, posting, etc, support multilanguages,
additionally some external usenet groups have also been added with
same functionality, including thread support.
You can try at http://lu7abf.org.ar/news .
I am running jnos 2.0k on ubuntu 11.04 with bbs, http and nntp
support, handling VHF and UHF radio ports, besides bbs access, aprs
and fwd via radio and internet.
Newsreader used under jnos www is PHP newsreader 2.6.6 available on
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pnews/
As Newsreaders operate under newer nntp RFC 3977, there are needed
some commands not available on nntpserv.c , thus I rewrite and share
some nntpserv.c recoding, available on http://lu7abf.org.ar/nntpserv.c
Several users are trying and confident with the application, it seems
to work ok, furthermore it is more fun and easy to access news this
way.
If there is need for details, questions or coments they are welcome.
Appreciate reading and the work and effort of all that contributed to
have this wonderfull piece of ham software that is nowadays jnos.
Best 73,

Hello Everyone,
There is a thread going on in the linux-hams@vger list where the Debian
folks are thinking about renaming the long standing AX.25 "node" program
in favor of the new Node.JS program as well as thoughts of deeper
changes to the AX.25 packages.
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-hams/
Though Debian is a smaller distribution, it's influence is far reaching
to many Debian-related distros (Ubuntu, Mint, etc.) The current HAM
packages maintainer is seeking input and what better list to get
potential Linux feedback than the AMPR list! I encourage you to join
the conversation and be heard!

Dan,
Playing Devil's advocate - the argument has been put forth in the
"other discussion" that according to popcon (the Debian popularity
contest), node has 81 installs, and 17 reporting as "active" while the
nodejs package has 720 installs with 163 reporting as "active." So their
conclusion is the node package is only used by a small community.
Looking at the ax25 packages:
libax25 - 234 installs/ 49 active
ax25-tools - 74/19
ax25-xtools - 45/6
ax25-apps - 74/17
other ham packages depending on libax25:
xastir - 89/16
aprsd - 33/13
ax25mail-utils - 22/4
fbb -16/3
linamc - 13/0
and a couple of other ham packages:
hamlib - 349/119
qsstv - 80/8
gmfsk - 64/10
fldigi - 113/24
xlog - 72/12
gpredict - 650/90
for comparison, the bash shell - 121423/110245
judging by these numbers (and let me make it CLEAR I do not put much
stock in them personally since the package does not have to be installed,
the machine has to have an internet connection, and the file system has
to record atime - so low power systems or ssd drive systems with
the mount option noatime don't count) hamlib *might* currently be
*safe* in terms of keeping it's name, and clearly is used by others.
The other issue, the one I was thinking of was the active user counts.
With the exception of hamlib and gpredict they are all low double digit
or even single digit numbers. Even if I believe there are many more
users of the software, I have no way to prove it.
I know there are many Debian and Debian based systems running ax25.
Unfortunately "the squeaky wheel gets the grease" and the ax25 users
haven't been squeaking. Flawed as it is, the "other side" will continue
to use the only tool they have - popcon - to justify their actions in
disregarding the place of long term packages in the distribution in favor
of the next new / hot thing.
I would like to run my tried and true systems as they are, and not have
to reinvent the wheel and debug scripts every few years when this issue
comes up again. The same thing happened with listen in Debian, so
now it is axlisten while the music player now has the executable named
listen. Everyone agreed then that "listen" was a generic name and should
not really be used, and yet it is.
You claim the existence of the packages in Debian encourages others to
try ax25, if this is so where are these people?

Hi Folks
I'd like to introduce a YaCy System as a distributed search engine for
the HAMNET
The important information on how to use it can be found here on our
Webserver at DB0FHW:
http://www.afu-ag.de/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=83…
If you let Google translate the page, unfortunatelly, you do not get a
very good translation...
http://translate.google.de/translate?sl=de&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=de&ie=UTF-…
... So I'll explain it in a bit more detail.
YaCy is a free dezentralized search engine that anyone can use to build
a search portal for their intranet
General information can be found here: http://yacy.net/en/ ... So lets
consider HAMNET as a kind of intranet.
We defined a root.unit for the system at DB0FHW, which has a quite good
connection to the german HAMNET, an anybody can now connect a peer to
this root.unit
This unit is shared to all peers, so the network will stay alive, even
if DB0FHW goes down.
Peers temporarely connect each other like a full mesh, so a peer only
needs to know one other peer to find its way back into the network.
How do you connect peers now:
1. Download and install YaCy http://yacy.net/en/index.html
2. Do not start the YaCy Service, yet.
3. Edit the line "network.unit.definition" in your file
"defaults/yacy.init". It should point to this URL now:
http://yacy.db0fhw.ampr.org:8090/yacy.hamnet.unit
4. Start the YaCy Service
Philosophy:
There sould be (minimum) one YaCy peer in each AS of the HAMNET,
crawling the Servers INSIDE ist own AS!
How often you want to crawl is your free choice. Just depending on the
changes of the servers content.
It it holds "hot news", you may host you yacy peer quite close to it an
crawl every hour.
If content changes weekly, crawl weekly...
(if you have a huge AS, you may have more peers and define which of them
is crawling which server)
So... Sounds not that hard at the end ;-)
Give it a try

Hello,
Thought I'd introduce myself.
I have taken over for as the regional IP coordinator for Wisconsin and
the Upper Peninsula (44.092/16).
I wrote a script to help identify expired callsigns, and have since
removed those entries for my area. This script my be handy to other
coordinators:
http://pastebin.com/d0HFmcG5
I made all attempts to not delete any active domains. If anyone is
experiencing a problem please contact me.

Rob,
It isn't meant as an automated tool. It was to aide me in lookup of
calls. It outputs a list of invalid calls, which I manually reviewed.
Here in the US, when you lookup a call that has been changed, the
databases reference that. ex:
http://callook.info/n9nof
What you describe sounds like a headache to keep track of.
We shot video of the presentations last week, when we get them processed
and posted, I'll make sure the link gets sent out to the group.
