Greetings all, I'm working on helping renovating a repeater system for the Southern Catskill Amateur Radio Society (KC2AXO - http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/license.jsp?licKey=421389), and was interested in figuring out the rules for getting an AMPRnet assignment for the club. I'd like to get a /24 though we could probably work with smaller as long as it's a large enough allocation to subnet it. Right now, we have a simple 2m repeater, but we're building two 33cm links up to the repeater shack to get connectivity up there. Right now, we're interested in setting up EchoLink/IRLP/AllStar for the repeater, and pending a second antenna/additional equipment, possibly a digipeater, APRS gateway, and packet BBS. Right now, we've got three sites (the primary repeater, a fill-in site, and the base station in town). The rough plan right now is as follows: - svxlink up at the shack for repeater control - 33cm downlinks to the fill-in repeater/club station - svxlink instance in the club which terminates traffic going to the internet (this acts as a Link Station, and keeps us within Part 97 compliance w.r.t Internet traffic and RF links) - aprsd running on the repeater, direct connection to APRS-IS (since this is all ham-to-ham traffic with callsigns, this should be legal per Part 97). - As resources allow, RF link to AMPRnet in general We'll have to get gateways to the other AMPR networks like HamWAN and such for 44net traffic to be reachable elsewhere. What I'd like to do is use an AMPRnet allocation from our base station, and then pipe service up to the repeater via a second fill-in site we have. AMPRnet seems like a logical way to do this, and as we expand the club, also allow folks to play with packet radio. I looked through the archives and the wiki and saw nothing about club allocations for AMPRnet so I figured I'd try here before filling out the application form as well as getting suggestions from the 44net community. I'm not the trustee (N2TDX) for the club sign, but I'm acting w/ his permission and can have him do the registration process if need be. Just trying to figure out the process and get our feet wet with AMPRnet. 72 de KD2JRT

Thanks for the quick response. Should I register under my call or the club's callsign? (I'll register for myself regardless as I want a personal 44net allocation while I'm here). I'll do it later today. Michael On 10/24/2017 09:33 AM, Charles J.

Unless you want your personal subnet as part of the club's, I would suggest two separate entries (your callsign and the club's callsign). When I see the entries in the portal, I will send you an email with some information for the NY State 44Net plan.
