  • Packet 2024

    From Malachi Doane@1:267/150 to All on Mon Feb 12 18:51:10 2024
    Hello All,
    Getting back into Packet and I hear a load of other digital on 7.104.51 but I think I'm hearing the 105Net in there too. Can anyone confirm some frequencies to listen for HF packet? I'm running a PK232 TNC and DX-SR8 with a wire antenna. Best I can tell, we've lost all out VHF/UHF packet in the southern tier of NY.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    I'm Jim W1JT and I'm located just South of Boston MA and I'm fairly active on HF Packet on 20 meters. 14.105 to be
    exact. I have considered going to 40 meters and very well may do that.

    I am sure that you are hearing 105 guys on 40 but also lots of the more "exotic" modes.

    Are you setup to transmit?

    Packet?!

    Does anyone still use packet in your area?

    The only thing I hear in Pensacola, FL is APRS, even our Winlink nodes have gone by the wayside!
