Packet Radio

For a long time I've wanted to make good use of the NinoTNC and AIOC that I'd built a while ago. There's a real resurgence happening in the UK for packet radio and it's good to be a part of it in a way.

What better way to do this than running this website over packet? Using tncattach, I setup up two endpoints and used the npm package http-server to host on the NinoTNC side with my ever venerable Wouxun. The AIOC side used Dire Wolf as the TNC, into one of the popular Quansheng handhelds. It was painfully slow, but very fun to see it working!

I hope to have a go again at 9600 baud. I have a Tait TM8100, but need another radio that has the flat response to be 9600 capable, I think I'll modify a Quansheng. I'd like to run a BPQ node too and properly join the UK packet network.
