I’m happy to announce that the W3ND-7 packet BBS is back on the air!
Well, sort of. The BBS is back online. I have to configure the radios and soundcard interface, and then it will be ready for installation. The BBS is running BPQ on a Windows platform; Windows was chosen as the OS as the possibility of a VaraFM port may be added in the future.
The original intent was to install it at Reesers Summit. However, due to some site changes, the BBS will probably be installed at the Central Pennsylvania Repeaters Association (CPRA) Blue Mountain site next year. Additionally, the possibility of a digipeater on 145.03 MHz at Reesers Summit is being investigated; the W3HZU-7 digipeater covers 145.01 MHz for York County.
