Greetings OM's.
I operate a URONode and FBB BBS in Toronto, Canada (FN03GQ).
Recently, my connection partner (VE2PKT) has gone offline due to
technical problems.
Is there anyone on this continent (Canada or USA) that would be willing
to become a partner with me?
I need access using any of: UDP port 92, 93, 10092, 10093 or 10094.
I am not on the 44 net currently.
Thanks and 73,
Matt / VE3OY

lots of pop-ups...and where is that annoying music coming from?/
Greetings,
I received a "Contact Coordinator" message from the portal. How
exactly are we supposed to reply to these? There is no "Messages" menu
item in the coordinators menu. Am I supposed to reply directly to the
other party or what?

Hello,
There are lots of news about my project "New Packet Radio".
Reminder, all info is here: https://hackaday.io/project/164092
A Chinese partner is now selling modems, assembled or kits, world-wide.
Price is low : 80$ fully assembled, with aluminum enclosure.
https://www.elekitsorparts.com/product/npr-70
I have improved the firmware, it's more stable, and it now allows the
optional "FDD mode" (Frequency Division Duplex).
With this optional feature, you can use the Master (=repeater) in duplex
mode, with 2 modems (TX/RX) and a RF duplexer. The frequencies are
different between uplink (from Clients to Master) and downlink (from
Master to Clients). Clients are half duplex, with one single modem,
switching very fast (300us) between uplink and downlink frequencies. The
main goal is to put NPR master on tower where there is already a duplex
repeater (FM or DMR or D-Star...), without interference between the 2
repeaters.
Check all the documentation on hackaday for more details: mainly
"Introduction", and "Advanced user guide".
The new firmware is also on hackaday of course.
Finally, I have written an article for "IEEE spectrum"; It's currently
on the web, and it will be on the paper version in a few days. I hope it
will bring some advertisement to my project, and to the modern amateur
radio movement.
https://spectrum.ieee.org/geek-life/hands-on/build-a-longdistance-data-netw…
If you have any question, just ask me.

Hello,
My knowledge and experience is lower than the participants on this mailling list.
I don't understand most of the topics discussed .
Examples :
- What's the connection between Amprgw, Caida and USCD/NT?
- Where can I find information about the structure of Amprgw ?
Do you know a "Hamnet ML for newbies" ? :-)

I am the Utah coordinator and appreciate Brian's comment that this matter
should not be dealt with in this forum.
Thank you.

Hi all,
Just wanted to get some background info on this one. We got a subnet request from, who appeared to be KI7HOC located in Utah.
He requested a /24 and wanted to route that through BGP by AS208173
(--
organisation: ORG-TYRA2-RIPE
org-name: Jori Vanneste
descr: Tyrasuki
--)
The ASN owner is located in Belgium and seems a bit shady to me looking through the subnets he's announcing (one IPv4 /24 from Africa and a few IPv6 subnets from APNIC, RIPE) and maintainers on the ASN (Singapore, Sweden, Switserland, ..)
The email domain used, uses a whois hiding service and does not match Alekzandr's email address on QRZ. Emailing Alekzandr on his QRZ email address does not yield a respons, however returning the allocation request to the requestor almost immediatly prompts a return through the AMPR portal form.
The details in the request:
--
Name: Alekzandr Evans
Email: ampr(a)alekeagle.com<mailto:ampr@alekeagle.com>
Callsign: KI7HOC
--
Note in the original request: "AE: The operator of the AS number posted above lives in Belgium. Though I'm not sure if this would justify a Belgian allocation, he recommended me to request a Belgian one."
--
My question would be if anybody on the list knows Alekzandr and can speak to him if this request is legit or not.
>From his QRZ page, Alekzandr is 12, nothing wrong with that, but the way that the email domain is using a whois hiding service makes me ponder if this might be a scam from someone posing as Alekzandr trying to get a BGP routed /24 for free.
Has anyone else received a request from this callsign?
Any input would be appreciated. We ended up denying the request as neither Alekzandr, nor that Jori are a holder of a valid ON ham license and Alekzandr did not respond to the question which ham services he would be hosting on this subnet (I asked that question because of my suspicions) and I haven't received any answer to my direct email to Alekzandr's qrz email address neither.

Greetings all. I am trying to set up a gateway on the MikroTik hAP lite following the posted instructions at http://wiki.ampr.org/wiki/Setting_up_a_gateway_on_MikroTik_Routers. A few questions as I do not seem to be having success. At the end, prior to installing scripts, I do have access to the broader Internet however still have a 192.168.88.x address issued to my PC.
Question on step 1: At first assign 44 Net address to your router Interface You do it by the web : IP --> Addresses --> Add New , a new screen will open , fill your 44 Net IP 44.xxx.YYY.ZZZ/your sub net (usually it will be /24) feel the network it should usually be same as the IP but with 0 in the end
In the first I am using my 44 IP of 44.18.50.1/28 and then using the 44.18.50.0 in the network slot. Is that correct? I then assigned this to one of the LAN ports on the MikroTik which looks correct for the LAN IP info as it does change this from the 192.168.88.x sequence. The checkbox below that still shows as NAT, should this change to DHCP?
Now some routes commands needed to be done
1) Route all the traffic to the tunnel interface
You do it by : IP --> Routes and clicking on the 0.0.0.0 line and changing the gateway to the tunnel interface name and clicking apply
The command line in text is as follow
If I use the /ip route
add distance=1 gateway=UCSD
It creates a new entry showing UCSD however it does not connect. Am I doing something wrong in this whole process?
After creating the tunnel the following instruction does not yield an editable gateway box as it would lead me to think it would so I cannot select the UCSD gateway. I did also load the scripts linked at the bottom of the page with edited IP addresses relevant to my networks and so not see the routes table updating.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thank you,

Remembrance
A long time ago, in a network, far far away, a great adventure took
place!
Out of the chaos of new ideas for communication, the experiments, the
tentative designs, and crucible of testing, there emerged a
cornucopia of networks. Beginning with the ARPANET, an endless
stream of networks evolved, and ultimately were interlinked to become
the Internet. Someone had to keep track of all the protocols, the
identifiers, networks and addresses and ultimately the names of all
the things in the networked universe. And someone had to keep track
of all the information that erupted with volcanic force from the
intensity of the debates and discussions and endless invention that
has continued unabated for 30 years. That someone was Jonathan B.
Postel, our Internet Assigned Numbers Authority, friend, engineer,
confidant, leader, icon, and now, first of the giants to depart from
our midst.
Jon, our beloved IANA, is gone. Even as I write these words I cannot
quite grasp this stark fact. We had almost lost him once before in
1991. Surely we knew he was at risk as are we all. But he had been
our rock, the foundation on which our every web search and email was
built, always there to mediate the random dispute, to remind us when
our documentation did not do justice to its subject, to make
difficult decisions with apparent ease, and to consult when careful
consideration was needed. We will survive our loss and we will
remember. He has left a monumental legacy for all Internauts to
Cerf Informational [Page 1]
RFC 2468 I REMEMBER IANA October 1998
contemplate. Steadfast service for decades, moving when others
seemed paralyzed, always finding the right course in a complex
minefield of technical and sometimes political obstacles.
Jon and I went to the same high school, Van Nuys High, in the San
Fernando Valley north of Los Angeles. But we were in different
classes and I really didn't know him then. Our real meeting came at
UCLA when we became a part of a group of graduate students working
for Professor Leonard Kleinrock on the ARPANET project. Steve
Crocker was another of the Van Nuys crowd who was part of the team
and led the development of the first host-host protocols for the
ARPANET. When Steve invented the idea of the Request for Comments
series, Jon became the instant editor. When we needed to keep track
of all the hosts and protocol identifiers, Jon volunteered to be the
Numbers Czar and later the IANA once the Internet was in place.
Jon was a founding member of the Internet Architecture Board and
served continuously from its founding to the present. He was the
FIRST individual member of the Internet Society I know, because he
and Steve Wolff raced to see who could fill out the application forms
and make payment first and Jon won. He served as a trustee of the
Internet Society. He was the custodian of the .US domain, a founder
of the Los Nettos Internet service, and, by the way, managed the
networking research division of USC Information Sciences Institute.
Jon loved the outdoors. I know he used to enjoy backpacking in the
high Sierras around Yosemite. Bearded and sandaled, Jon was our
resident hippie-patriarch at UCLA. He was a private person but fully
capable of engaging photon torpedoes and going to battle stations in
a good engineering argument. And he could be stubborn beyond all
expectation. He could have outwaited the Sphinx in a staring
contest, I think.
Jon inspired loyalty and steadfast devotion among his friends and his
colleagues. For me, he personified the words "selfless service".
For nearly 30 years, Jon has served us all, taken little in return,
indeed sometimes receiving abuse when he should have received our
deepest appreciation. It was particularly gratifying at the last
Internet Society meeting in Geneva to see Jon receive the Silver
Medal of the International Telecommunications Union. It is an award
generally reserved for Heads of State, but I can think of no one more
deserving of global recognition for his contributions.
While it seems almost impossible to avoid feeling an enormous sense
of loss, as if a yawning gap in our networked universe had opened up
and swallowed our friend, I must tell you that I am comforted as I
contemplate what Jon has wrought. He leaves a legacy of edited
documents that tell our collective Internet story, including not only
Cerf Informational [Page 2]
RFC 2468 I REMEMBER IANA October 1998
the technical but also the poetic and whimsical as well. He
completed the incorporation of a successor to his service as IANA and
leaves a lasting legacy of service to the community in that role.
His memory is rich and vibrant and will not fade from our collective
consciousness. "What would Jon have done?", we will think, as we
wrestle in the days ahead with the problems Jon kept so well tamed
for so many years.
There will almost surely be many memorials to Jon's monumental
service to the Internet Community. As current chairman of the
Internet Society, I pledge to establish an award in Jon's name to
recognize long-standing service to the community, the Jonathan B.
Postel Service Award, which will be awarded to Jon posthumously as
its first recipient.
If Jon were here, I am sure he would urge us not to mourn his passing
but to celebrate his life and his contributions. He would remind us
that there is still much work to be done and that we now have the
responsibility and the opportunity to do our part. I doubt that
anyone could possibly duplicate his record, but it stands as a
measure of one man's astonishing contribution to a community he knew
and loved.
