@Will_W_Welker @mwfoutch1 @km4ack Gonna have to grab me one of these radios.

[ModernHam @HamModern]

@nerdsville We are indeed seeing a resurgence! 2025 is going to be the year of packet BBS. Glad you got your gear up and working with it!

If you haven't checked out the EmComm Tools project by TheTechPrepper, you should give it a look. https://t.co/Q137SRLSap

I'll be live streaming a new packet radio series starting tomorrow at 9pm Eastern. This will be a build of a new node, with VARA/AX25 on a Windows Server VM. It will take several parts to finish it all up, but it will all be documented on my blog. Tomorrow is all about the OS.

[ModernHam @HamModern]

The packet radio series is now moving into the IP networking portion for those interested!

@Will_W_Welker Not yet, but it's on my list! I'd like to dig deep into AREDN after the packet radio series is concluded.

[ModernHam @HamModern]

This has been patched, but you need to manually replace your bpq32.dll. (Details in the Video)

On this day in 1983: WarGames released.

@W0LD1 @arrl We got confirmation that they were the victim of a cyber attack. The only thing we learned was that it was an international "unique" group.
The concerns still stand,as those details don't truly effect us.
What user data is compromised? What specific personal info was compromised?

[ModernHam @HamModern]

@kyleaa0z Pitching in https://t.co/vXgpYPYBDn for security issues alone because they store your password in plain text and will email it to you in plain text as well if you press "forgot password".

[ModernHam @HamModern]

Someone made a website.
I know the ARRL is going through it right now, but people probably wouldn't bother poking them if everything was laid out in front of us.

@HamImports I'll be looking for a way in to try it out!

[ModernHam @HamModern]

This is pretty niche, but I'm sure someone out there might find this interesting. Anyone run packet in the 80's and care to share their setups?

@CMcKayFL That MFJ 1278 had decent support. But The Pakratt-64 was another TNC I was looking at too.

[ModernHam @HamModern]

Handheld Radio Manufactures, hear me out.
Make a handheld radio with a built in PTT serial port (RTS), and sound card using the same USB C interface. People often pay $50+ for these solutions externally, and then try to hide the mess.
