This page is always under construction, pretty much a living document of projects, research, hints and kinks.


Home Station NC6J

The home station:
desk

An old laptop running Linux for FLDIGI through a Signalink to FT-897D for HF, and and two TNC-Xs running the NC6J BPQ Node at 145.050 on a DR-605, with an APRS Igate on an HTX-252, along with BBS, Chat, AMPR, and Winlink Gateway. A KT-8900D is for voice. Kept the HTX-10 for testing mostly, along with my first HF rig, the Icom 718, and my old mobile FT-100D. A Raspberry Pi with two TNC-PIs currently serves as a test bed and occasional fill in node during imaging.

And the workbench where lessons are learned the hard way.
