Hello Everyone,
It was very sad news hear to about Brian Kantor passing as he was my
AMPR Coordinator mentor and I imagine *the* mentor for many of us. As
we need to push on with out him, it's unclear on what is the chain of
succession for everything that Brian did. I ask this as I have a new
interested member looking for a BGP allocation and this process was
always processed through Brian to deal with the vetting process,
processing the AMPR Letter of Authority, etc. Can someone from the ARDC,
etc. tell me who to contact if I have questions, next steps once I get
all the required details, etc?

Hello everyone. I've had a two address allocation for a while and I'm
just now getting things setup.
Just wondering if anyone has some info on (our point me to a wiki page)
on getting one of my IP's setup on my home network using TELUS internet
(Canada)? I would like to say I'm not new to networking but for some
reason I'm not at my best.
My plan is to try and setup some rudimentary networking using a simplex
frequency between my remote location and my home base. For now I'm
going to use 9600 baud UHF just to get things working. I know this will
be incredibly slow but I want to try anyway. I may move up to the GHz
range later. Biggest thing is I would like to get internet access using
the 44 net for field day. This will be in hopes of setting up for
emergency situations.
Currently I'm just working on this by myself and would like to get a
proof of concept going before I demonstrate this to anyone else.
Thanks for your help

I have very sad news. My good friend, Brian Kantor, WB6CYT
<https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-qRxpLrc/1/X4/i-qRxpLrc-X4.jpg>,
suddenly passed away this week at his home in San Diego, California.
Brian retired only two years ago after 47 years of service on the staff
at the University of California San Diego (UCSD). Way back in the mid
1980s, Brian and I founded AMPRnet, the TCP/IP over amateur radio
network. He continued to manage it until his passing.
Brian recently created and served as chair and CEO of Amateur Radio
Digital Communications (ARDC), a charitable foundation funded by the
sale of unused AMPRnet IPv4 addresses. ARDC promotes STEM education and
amateur radio digital development through scholarships and by funding
the development of open source hardware and software.
Brian will be sorely missed and impossible to replace. Memorial
arrangements will be announced when known.

Really Sad News
Rest in peace my friend and thank you for all
the help and assistance in supporting amprnet
over the past three decades.
I send my condolences to his family.

It is with great sorrow that we learn of Brian's passing. For dozens
of years he has worked in support of Amateur Radio and gone far
beyond what could be expected of an individual to make Amateur Radio
digital operations a success. In the early years he almost
single-handedly insured that the interface with the educational and
commercial worlds were properly managed.
As Phil stated, it will be impossible for us to replace the talent
and knowledge he has provided. This event presents another
opportunity for us to learn how to work together for success in the
future. It is critical that those of us still around, including
those of us from the Southern California Digital Coordination Council
days, endeavor to pass on all that has been learned. There are less
and less of those Don listed still with us.
I for one think that ARDC can play an important role in ensuring our
continued success.
Thank You Brian,
- JimF K6IYK

Hi OM
I'm hoping to pick someone's brain with regards to the IPIP and RIP config
for AMPRnet on my Mikrotik at home.
I'm using the guide http://www.yo2loj.ro/hamprojects/ampr-gw-README.txt,
which indicates after step seven and a few minutes of waiting I should see
my routing table populated with routes with a 44rip routing mark. Nope.
I've monitored for port 520 on the IPIP as well as Internet facing
interface and see no activity. I also haven't seen a single packet on the
ucsd-gw interface (not sure if I should at this time). So I'm obviously
missing something important and perhaps fundamental in this configuration.
Please send some of your wisdom my way.
Regards
Paul (ZS6IO)

That guide worked for establishing the tunnel, but I don't seem to get
working RIP packets.
The IP address for my local port is 44.x.y.1/32 with a network of 44.x.y.0
(/24). But the IP address on the tunnel interface is 44.x.y.2/32 with a
network of 44.0.0.0 (/8). Somehow this works and the tunnel connects.
Every five minutes I see some packets come in and a packet capture shows
the clear text password in them. But the RIP listener isn't seeing them. I
even set the RIP to listen for any advertisement (not just 44.0.0.0) on any
interface.

Good day OM
I am trying to locate the new coordinator for South Africa. With the
unfortunate passing of Dick ZS6RO no one is dishing out network allocations
for South Africans.

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
