OT: How to kill packet radio in Serbia
Hi all! And my apologies for this off-topic:
As usual, I visited the local club yesterday (Tue Mar 30). And there I was approached by one of the SRV ham union's vice-presidents, Stanisa Zaklan YU7AC, who asked me to remove packet radio equipment I was planning to install in the union's premises. (My personal computer I brought there when I was the union's secretary, and the packet TNC a foreign ham donated recently.) The plan was to run 1200bd packet to serve local hams, and later to upgrade to 300bd HF packet or pactor. So YU7AC made it clear that they do not want packet radio & other data modes to be practised and developed in the SRV ham radio union. But before I remove the equipment, I thought it might be of help if you consider as proper to send a personal note to the union's president, and ask him whether their decision was final, because it would diminish all my efforts to revive data modes in Serbia. His name is Keki Laszlo YT7DQ, email yt7dq@... and another vice-president is Barichek Laszlo YU7CM, email yu7cm48@... (Of course, it is up to you to mail them or not. I am not going to push you to do that but in a couple of days I will need to remove that gear.) Misko YT7MPB @ YU7BPQ |
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHello Misko, This is a technical support forum for the Direwolf software TNC.? I personally feel this group and it's membership has no business getting involved with a specific club's internal politics.? My personal recommendation is if you don't agree with this one club's direction, it might be time to join or start a new club that better aligns with your interests. Good luck. --David KI6ZHD On 03/31/2021 01:02 PM, Misko YT7MPB

Well, the SRV and SRS aren't just clubs, they're basically state institutions. They assign the call-signs (which you need to get the license), they used to issue the licenses until few years ago, they administer the exams, work through unofficial channels to affect changes to the regulations and so on, which basically excludes the possibility of just quitting them: They're the only way to get a license for an APRS station (because if they don't give you a call-sing, well, then you're a pirate) and so on. On the other hand, I don't see how can complaining in the direwolf technical mailing list, or spamming the responsible people is going to actually help. Perhaps campaigning locally for next SRS and SRV elections would be a better choice? §ã§â§Ö, 31. §Þ§Ñ§â 2021. §å 23:51 David Ranch <direwolf-groupsio@...> ?§Ö §ß§Ñ§á§Ú§ã§Ñ§à/§Ý§Ñ:
