Hello Dave and others.
On CB radio here in The Netherlands this happend.
Most of the bbs's have stopped theire packet service or can be only reached
by inet(telnet).
I run one of the last remaining bbs and nodes of the CB network.
And is still connectable by RF :)
I hope this will never happen on HAM packet radio.
Currently i'm busy gettin a license to run a bbs on the HAM network
this would be nice for the NLDNET network and of course for the whole
packet radio network :)
I hope i will get the license soon !
bye bye for now.
