Excellent, sounds fun. So if anyone was not running a node/tnc to handle incoming?connections - is there a way, using linux stack ax.25 and associated tools? That was something I was never 100% sure about, when I started I was using ax.25 axcall natively but mostly the kb 2 kb qsos I made were based on me dialing back into a node (without a ssid of course). Just curious. Perhaps there are very few people/stations in that situation but any pointers that can be given for newcomers before they have a full? node working of their own might help encourage more first time users to join the qso party. It's something I never quite figured myself out myself, before jumping into full software node setup, which is great (if you ultimately want that) but - it's a lot to configure and get working if say what you wanted to do is just kb2kb qso with some other stations directly in the qso party. Guessing people here know the answer to that, so I thought I'd mention it.? In my case getting started was linux and configure ax.25 stack and attach it to the modem. In that set up very easy to make outgoing connection with axcall, but incoming, not so sure - maybe axlisten?somehow is the key? ? I've discovered quite a lot of evening 40m packet, so now running 20m in day, 40m at night, seems best of both and I am sure is a fairly common pattern to it all. All the best, Louis?
