  • Packet on L.I. or southern CT?

    From John Schneider@thecop@optonline.net to alt.ham-radio.packet on Fri Sep 8 14:05:32 2006

    Can anyone advise as to the existence (or lack thereof) of packet operation
    on Long Island or southern Connecticut? I would still like to receive
    related info. should my ISP provider go down, but it would appear as though packet radio is completely dead in this area!

    On what area of Long Island are you looking for a node??

    I'm not sure if NY2S still runs his setup on 145.030 ??
    You can try tuning in around the upper 144's to low 145's and see what
    you can pickup with your TNC.

    I've been away from packet for about 10yrs now. I used to run a Jnos
    node on 145.070 under my old callsign.

    There's alot of packet in this area. Western LI and NYC set it to monitor
    and listen to 145.050 - still one of the busiest packet freqs I've ever
    heard, save 144.39. Try this http://www.northeastflexnet.org/ and click on the destination list. Look for what's closest. I hear several stations in the New Haven area and once and awhile the Shelton station here on the South Shore of the Island. It may not be as robust as it once was, but it's still alive in this region...
