=============
* This is the _original_, most complete and regularly updated list of
Pactor stations worldwide.
* _Your_ info keeps these lists up to date.
Feel free to report about changes, so we can include them in the lists.
_Please_ let us know if you think amendments are needed. Thank you.
* There are eight lists available being updated monthly.
1 MBO LIST EU - List of mailboxes in Europe
2 MBO LIST AF - List of mailboxes in Africa
3 MBO LIST AS/OC - List of mailboxes in Asia an Oceania
4 MBO LIST VA - List of mailboxes in North America
5 MBO LIST CA/SA - List of mailboxes in Central America and South America
6 INDIVIDUAL STNS - List of individual manned stations worldwide
7 GATEWAY LIST WW - List of gateways to AX.25 packet networks worldwide
8 WL2K LIST WW - List of Winlink 2000 stations
* The stations listed in 1-5,7 and 8 do operate 24 hours a day unless
indicated otherwise.
The stations listed in 6 do operate only when the operator is available for
some hours a day unless indicated otherwise.
* You're invited to send your changes, corrections, additions or comments to:
DM3TT@TA2BBS.#ANK.TUR.EU (preferred) or
ptc-list@gmx.net
* Please take a look at HB9BRJ's ufb MS Excel + Access converted MBO-list;
mny tnx to Markus for this fine job !

Frequency Setup
---------------
* All frequencies in this list are in kilohertz and MARK notation!
* If you know the mark frequency and your individual modem tones and you want
to find the dial frequency in USB or LSB mode, you may calculate it as
follows.
**************************************************************************
* Dial frequency in USB = Mark frequency - upper audio tone of modem *
* Dial frequency in LSB = Mark frequency + lower audio tone of modem *
**************************************************************************
* If you know the dial frequency in USB or LSB mode and your individual modem
tones and you want to find the mark frequency, you may calculate it as
follows.
**************************************************************************
* Mark frequency = Dial frequency in USB + upper audio tone of modem *
* Mark frequency = Dial frequency in LSB - lower audio tone of modem *
**************************************************************************
Examples:
Given are
- mark radio frequency at 14080.0 kHz,
- Modem audio AFSK tone pair at 1400 Hz space and 1600 Hz mark as written
in modem manual
Wanted are
resulting dial frequency in USB and resulting dial frequency in LSB
14080.0 kHz mark RF 14080.0 kHz mark RF
- 1.6 kHz mark AF + 1.4 kHz space AF
--------------------- ----------------------
14078.4 kHz USB RF 14081.4 kHz LSB RF
=================== ====================
Given are
- dial frequency at 14108.9 kHz in USB mode,
- modem audio AFSK tone pair at 1400 Hz space and 1600 Hz mark as written
in modem manual
Wanted is mark frequency
14108.9 kHz USB RF
+ 1.6 kHz mark AF
---------------------
14110.5 kHz mark RF
===================
Given are
- dial frequency at 14105.0 kHz in LSB mode,
- modem audio AFSK tone pair at 1600 Hz mark and 1800 Hz space as written
in modem manual
Wanted is mark frequency
14105.0 kHz LSB RF
- 1.6 kHz mark AF
---------------------
14103.4 kHz mark RF
===================
* Centers of Activity
Recommended Pactor CQ frequencies (in mark) are:
1840.0 3585.0 7045.0 10145.0 14080.0 18095.0 21080.0 24925.0 28110.0 kHz
If you are interested in random keyboard qsos, simply select one
of the frequencies and watch signals for a while.
PTC-II users should have set "LISTEN 1" or "LISTEN 5" before.
You can start a qso by connecting to callsign, who has called cq before.
If you want to call CQ yourself select mode FEC (UNPROTO) in 100 bauds FSK.
PTC-II users run the command "U 1" and enter a text.
Transmit a text as below this and don't forget to mention your callsign:
CQ CQ CQ PACTOR de <your callsign>
CQ CQ CQ PACTOR de <your callsign>
CQ CQ CQ PACTOR de <your callsign> fm <locator>
Pse connect <your callsign> for qso
Pse k
Enter CTRL-D to end transmitting when broadcast has finished.
* We will continue to follow the original and long proven concept of
MARK frequency, a world standard which is easy to understand and
uses "even" grid frequencies.
Explanation of Codes:
---------------------
* All listed stations can operate in "ordinary" Pactor level I mode.
* (P2), (P3), (P4): These stations do _also_ operate in Pactor level 2,3 or
up to4.
The switching between levels is automatic. Pactor 3 and 4 is only
supported on channels marked with the hash sign (#).
* Systems using BBS software with true store & forward capability which can
forward your properly addressed mail to any ham BBS:
(.haddr) = Hierarchical address aka H-Route
(BP) = G8PBQ BBS
(DP) = DPBOX BBS
(FB) = F6FBB BBS
(JN) = JNOS 2.0 BBS
(MS) = MSYS BBS
(WC) = Winlink Classic
(SF) = Store & Forwarding to neighbours on HF bands _below_ 30 MHz
* Non-BBS systems
(AM) = Airmail 2000
(LR) = LinuxRMS Gateway
(PG) = Built-in PTC2 Gateway
(PM) = PSKmail
(W2) = Winlink 2000
* Features
(GW) = Real time GateWay Pactor <> AX.25 network open, see also (AN)
(%) = Robust connect capability; all " %STNs " use Profi Firmware
A "robust connect" is a connect starting in pactor II level.
*** any normal user needs to update to version 3.1 or better to
start a robust connect, e.g. c %ua6adv
* Contact
(AA) = Sysop's AX.25 packet address
(AB) = Callsign incl. SSID of next AX.25 network BBS
(AN) = Callsign incl. SSID of next AX.25 network node
(HP) = Homepage
(IA) = Sysop's Internet email address ( (at) for spam protection))
(SC) = Station's Amtor SelCall
(AX) = Station's AX.25 callsign
* Frequencies are in mark notation and headed by the type of antenna if known
as there are
(BE) = beam
(LP) = log periodic
(DI) = dipole or wire
(VE) = vertical
(DF) = autom. direction finding available
(#) = on frequencies marked thus, Pactor III connects are possible
* Some of the listed systems may also be operating in these modes/protocols,
also heading the frequencies
(AT) = Amtor, see also (SC)
(CV) = Clover
(GT) = G-Tor
(A3) = AX.25 packet 300bd FSK, mark frequency is indicated
(AR) = AX.25 robust packet, mark frequency is indicated
(WN) = Winmor 500 (narrow), center frequency is indicated
(WW) = Winmor 1600 (wide), center frequency is indicated
* Frequencies are trailed by the time in UTC.
* Date of update is indicated by either
(YY-MM) Year, month or
(YYYY-MM-DD) Year, month, day
