WOW! We had 48 check-ins this month that is our highest total to date, 
Thank you everyone that took the time this past week to check into the 
Packet Bulletin 

The November net is scheduled to start on Sunday Nov 19th @ 0000 UTC.

I would like to continue with the packet text forms, I beleive these 
can be used in the event of a weather or other problem here in the states. 
Stay tuned for more info on the next form and a much easier way to create 
and use it.

Here is the link to the check-in map for Oct:

Be looking for more info for the November Net in the next few weeks!

Thank you again for your participation!

The participant map will be updated throughout the duration of the net at:
 
https://www.qsomap.org/QSOmapProduction/qsomapforQRZ.php?call=n3mel

 

Don't feel obligated to enter a detailed message if it's difficult; the important part is the Subject line! Just remove the "ICS213" part of the subject, and send your callsign, name, city/town/county, and state.

Here's a simple web form here to help create the ICS-213 plain text:

http://vden.org/pktnet/ics213.html

The VDEN website (http://vden.org) includes information about the Central Virginia BBSes, how to send personal mail and bulletins, and methods for connecting over RF (Packet / Vara via Terminal / Winlink / Outpost).

Bulletins created on the N4VEM BBS will be forwarded over Vara FM to the KN4LQN BBS, which will then forward over Vara HF to the N3MEL BBS and the wider regional packet network.

Reach out if you have any questions!
