It has been MANY years since I helped maintain a packet BBS
system (mid 90s).
Me too, 1988-2000, now 2019->
I remember setting up hierarchical routing back then, but it
was rather simple, as it was all RF, and only to other systems
on dedicated RF links.
I feel that Hierarchical Routing is the same whether RF or not.
I have always been confused about the word 'dedicated' as in
"dedicated
RF links".

I would love some help on getting my BBS running and setting
up some forwarding partners to make sure we are sending BBS
messages to their correct destinations.? ?
I also want to be able to receive bulletins etc.

Currently I have nothing setup for forwarding, and I have not
been able to find a good "starting point" type tutorial.
Start here:
Contact those callsigns nearest you.
I suggest including WW4BSA, WT0F, and KD4WLE in your contact list.
I see 2 other G8BPQ stations in Gainesville on the map.
Perhaps the 3 of you could link and test hierarchical forwarding.

Thank you in advance for any help!? I'm very excited to get
this up and running!
