[OZAPRS] APRS with Foundation license

[Peter]

Hi Terry..

 

Now that was a long time ago!!!!!

And before you was Garry VK5ZK. Makes me feel old hi hi

 

With the extravagant digis, it happened generally during Summer months with
the help of ducting, before too many BBSs on 2mx, before Netrom and Rose,
before Msys (TCPIP) BBS (more overheads per frame  than politicians) and a
lot of luck and lots of retries, but fun to try.

Before the days of ROSE and NET/ROM we managed to make it from Sydney to 
Mt Gambier on one occasion by digipeating through 8 repeaters. The first 
two were at Mt Bindo and Tumut. You can imagine the round trip time!

 
*Eight* digis?  I'm surprised that it worked at all...  I dips me lid :-)

Astonishing!  Imagine typing in the path details!   =-O .

It's great to see some of familiar callsigns from the packet days still
showing up in the past week or so.   I had my first HF BBS connect with
VK2EHQ - seems a long time ago.  It probably was ............. (sigh)
