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.</SPAN></DIV></DIV></DIV></SPAN></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I used to sit here in Canberra and watch them go by. Was one summer
where it wasn't unusal to have a keyboard conversation via 6 digis to Mt Gambier
from Canberra. Then Rose came along with its 2 digi restriction and
stopped it all.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I used to run a BBS as well, forwarding via 2 digis to Orange up north and
Wangeratta down south. Then for a year or so Peter, vk3ehq and Peter,
vk3ave would drop bulletins onto my box (thanks guys!) via dialup modem and
fidonet and I'd push them out north and south.</DIV>

<DIV>Was a lot of fun...</DIV>
