We have moved the club VHF packet node from the Mesa to La Cumbre Peak West. At nearly 4,000′ above sea level, this station has a Winlink gateway that can gate mail between RF and the internet (Starlink-capable and perfect for emergencies), as well as a few other features, including a local keyboard chat room!
Check it out if you have a TNC or sound card modem for VHF packet on 145.050.
The main node is K6TZ-2 but the following aliases will connect you directly to the various services: LCPW (main node), TZPBBS, TZCHAT, TZRMS (Winlink)
Note that BPQ is a little different than Kantronics. Commands like MHEARD and CONNECT (to hop) require a port number (in this case the port number to use is 2). More details in the welcome message.
Thanks to Doc, W6EW for donating the Kenwood TM-D700 to the club.

13-Sept-2024 Thank you, Levi, for all the good things you and your team do for us all. I haven't played with Winlink yet, but it is very good to know it's on and survived the move. Cheers & 73, Jim Allen, KF6HHX

Thanks, Jim. Winlink is incredible when you access it from an iPhone using Mobilinkd and the app Radiomail. It essentially becomes a backup internet email service that will be online in a disaster. Worth checking out!
