Warm up your packet station!!!!!!!!!
Hi Folks -
As part of the Net Control duties this month (May), Palo Alto is
encouraging all packet stations to checkin to one of a few of
the BBSes on May 12 and May 19. Please see the announcement below,
and forward or communicate these details to your groups.
Thanks for your support and participation.

SPECS Packet Checkin: May 12, May 19
During two upcoming Mondays in May, we propose having packet capable
stations checkin using packet as part of their SPECS net
participation. The overall goal is twofold: to establish a roster of
those that have packet capabilities and to establish the feasibility of
ongoing testing of that capability that is both more frequent and more
inclusive than countywide quarterly drills.
In a manner analogous to the additional SPECS checkins that are done on
the UHF (440.800) repeater, the participants would send a checkin
message to one of the packet BBS systems mentioned below. We suggest
sending the message between 19:30 and 20:00 local time. Just do one
checkin on one of the listed BBSes. An assistant to the voice net
control will monitor traffic on the BBSes and tally the checkins
prior to close of the SPECS net.
Supported Frequencies and BBSes:
145.070 K6MTV-1, K6LOS-1
144.910 K6SNY-1 (can reach via digipeaters W6XSC-2 or W6XSC-6)
223.660 KI6DHU-1
During the May 12 and May 19 test periods, the message should be
addressed to the Palo Alto ARES/RACES callsign: W6PAX (regardless
of which BBS is used); the sender should be the callsign of the
transmitting station, just as would be supplied when checking in
on the SPECS voice net. It is also recommended that you include
your callsign in the Subject line.
Example:
A station in Palo Alto, KF6UZX, creates a message using Outpost
From: KF6UZX
To: W6PAX
Subject: KF6UZX-201: May 12 SPECS checkin
The body of the message is very brief, or empty, to reduce the amount
of airtime, and thus, contention. A numeric value can
follow the sender ID in the Subject line to distinguish messages. Once
the message is ready, KF6UZX connects to the one of the listed BBSes,
and transmits the message. If KF6UZX is unable to connect to
the chosen BBS, then another one is chosen. It is suggested that
at least a couple of attempts be made before giving up on a specific
BBS (since inability to connect could be due to contention, and a
retry then might get through).
In short:
1. try a BBS
2. try again
3. try another BBS
4. if using 144.190, try K6SNY-1 with digipeating*
*K6SNY-1 via W6XSC-2 (Crystal Peak) for south county locations
*K6SNY-1 via W6XSC-6 (Milpitas) for north county locations
