Problems with gw.ampr.org
by G1FEF 25 Jul '21

25 Jul '21

Hello 44Net, Just to advise that there is likely to be heavy packet loss through the gateway server at UCSD currently. The 1G link has been fully saturated since just before midnight PST (see attached MRTG graph). I can’t even login to the server reliably enough to see what the traffic is but I guess some DDOS is ongoing. I will keep you informed as and when I have further information. 73, Chris - G1FEF

Introducing Dan Romanchik - KB6NU - our new Content Manager
by Rosy Wolfe 07 Jul '21

07 Jul '21

Hello 44net! Given that he just posted info for the next community meeting, this is an excellent opportunity to welcome a new employee - Dan Romanchik, KB6NU, who is our new Content Manager. He'll be helping us with all things related to writing - newsletters, web content, and even helping with grantee proposals. Here's a little bit about Dan: Dan, KB6NU, has been a radio geek ever since he turned on his grandparents' Philco console radio about age 10. He got his first license at age 16, then obtained a BSEE degree from the University of Detroit. After working as a test engineer for a dozen years or so, he decided to direct his engineering talents in another direction and became a technical editor for Test&Measurement World magazine, a post he held for six years. After leaving the magazine, Dan was self-employed as a website developer and freelance writer. He blogs about amateur radio at KB6NU.Com and self-publishes the "No Nonsense" line of amateur radio license study guides. He's also self published *21 Things to Do After You Get Your Amateur Radio License" and *The CWGeek's Guide to Having Fun with Morse Code." He feels his biggest accomplishement has been helping thousands of people get their first amateur radio license or upgrade to General and Extra, either by reading his study guides or by attending the classes he teaches. He's very excited to now be working with ARDC and hopes that his work here will help even more people have fun with amateur radio. Please join me in welcoming him! 73, Rosy -- Rosy Wolfe - KJ7RYV Executive Director Amateur Radio Digital Communications (ARDC) ampr.org

Announcing international grantmaking, starting with the Deutscher Amateur Radio Club (DARC)
by Rosy Wolfe 02 Jun '21

02 Jun '21

Hello 44net! I'm writing to share some exciting news: ARDC has begun to make grants internationally, primarily to 501(c)(3) equivalents (e.g. charitable organizations and schools). The first set of grants will go to the Deutscher Amateur Radio Club (DARC)(darc.de). One of their grants aims to expand the HAMNET in Europe, and the other supports OpenWebRX - a web-based SDR project. You can read more about these grants here: https://www.ampr.org/the-deutscher-amateur-radio-club-e-v-darc-initiates-gr… If you know of 501(c)(3) equivalent international organizations who may be deserving of a grant, please send them our way. We are also seeking partners in different parts of the world who may be able to use ARDC funds to make smaller grants in their region, just as DARC will be doing. Again, please spread the word - we're excited to expand our reach And! We don't plan for our reach to end here either - we'll post more information about further expansions (such as granting to individuals) as soon as we are able. All the best and 73, Rosy PS - you might notice I have a new email address - rosy(a)ardc.net. We're in the process of switching to a new mail server. More information about that coming soon. -- Rosy Wolfe - KJ7RYV Executive Director Amateur Radio Digital Communications (ARDC) ampr.org

RIP broadcast does not reach my GW
by Marc, LX1DUC 24 May '21

24 May '21

Good afternoon, Since this morning it seems that no RIP broadcasts are reaching the commercial IP address of my GW. I've running ampr-ripd-2.4 in debug and verbose more for all of the afternoon, but I see nothing. I also checked the firewall rules (there are none) and also tried tracing packets with tshark. None of the methods should any RIP UDP packets arriving at my GW. The GW entry seems to exist at least since 2020-11-11 14:16:42, so it's not a new entry. A tracepath from the GW to 44.0.0.1 stops at sdsc-7710-7--mcore-vl2995-p2p.ucsd.edu (132.239.255.50). Did anybody notice anything similar? 73 de Marc, LX1DUC

IPv6
by lleachii＠aol.com 21 May '21

21 May '21

All, I've hear some people mention IPv6. I've said before "closed mouths don't get fed"... Maybe we can again ask for an IPv6 allocation to be given to us??? (I know this may be late.) 73, - Lynwood KB3VWG

Introducing Chelsea Párraga, our new Grants Manager
by Rosy Wolfe 19 May '21

19 May '21

Hello, 44net! I'm thrilled to introduce y'all to ARDC employee #2: Chelsea Párraga! Chelsea comes from a family full of hams, as well as a background in both fundraising and grantmaking - most recently at History Colorado. In addition to being well-versed in all things grantmaking, she also loves learning and has even done some experimenting with a Raspberry Pi. She's been with us for a couple of weeks now and has definitely hit the ground running! If you have any questions related to grantmaking, feel free to give her a buzz at giving(a)ampr.org. It feels wonderful to start growing the team. Please give her a warm welcome! Many thanks and 73, Rosy -- Rosy Wolfe - KJ7RYV Executive Director Amateur Radio Digital Communications (ARDC) ampr.org

Uses of 44Net Allocations?
by Ian Chilton 19 May '21

19 May '21

Hi, I’m interested what people are using 44Net space for…. what do you use yours for (and what size allocation?). On a related note - there doesn’t seem to be a clear description of what you can and can’t do with it, other than nothing commercial? Thanks, Ian -- Ian Chilton E-Mail: ian(a)chilton.me.uk Web: http://www.ichilton.co.uk/blog Twitter: http://twitter.com/ichilton Github: http://github.com/ichilton
