In #HamRadio news, I've been having a bunch of fun getting a proper packet node set up over the last few days. The #FARPN crowd is a good group to learn that stuff with - they've been documenting some helpful info, and have a matrix chat set up to be able to ask for help etc.

My node is running on 14.105LSB pretty much full time at the moment, but I may tweak things so it switches to 40 meters overnight.

Well I've got my packet radio @farpn node/BBS working again, thanks to some _serious help_ from @n6cta last night with debugging the ALSA configuration to support two radios - one for HF and one for VHF, each with a direwolf modem. Still running into an issue trying to add a mixer to allow multiple applications to listen to one device.

Now on to more packet shenanigans in the new year!

I am not sure what #FARPN is, but i'll start digging into it.

It seems like, to automate this, it would be cool to have nodes report their MHEARD lists to a repository (via RF #Packet) each day.

Been having fun dipping my toes into HF packet with some friendly help from @n6cta @kc2ihx @W1CDN @ve3qbz and the other #FARPN folx. They're a super helpful crowd of fedi-folx that have banded together for some packet fun!
