Brian Kantor, WB6CYT, SK

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. Phil Karn, KA9Q

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.

IPIP and RIP configuration on a Mikrotik
by Paul Greeff 16 Nov '19

16 Nov '19

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) -- Paul Greeff email(a)paulgreeff.com Office: +27 86 100 3117 Cell: +27 83 954 3453 Fax: 086 659 0511 Winlink: zs6io(a)winlink.org

IPIP and RIP configuration on a Mikrotik
by Thomas Glaab 15 Nov '19

15 Nov '19

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. tg. AJ4UQ.

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.

Need connection partner
by VE3OY Matt 14 Nov '19

14 Nov '19

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 -- /My mind is like a web browser. 27 tabs are open, 9 aren't responding, 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? -- Geoff Joy - ke6qh - AmprNet IP Address Coordinator for San Bernardino & Riverside Counties. (44.18/16)

NPR (New Packet Radio): Modems for sale (world-wide)
by f4hdk 28 Oct '19

28 Oct '19

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. 73, Guillaume F4HDK
