Fiddling with packet radio. The idea is to have a node/repeater/bbs/etc on 27mc. At revspace and at Flok's house (in Gouda).

Hardware

We have an TNC-PI which is a TNC connected to a Raspberry Pi interfaced to a Midland Alan 48 plus (27 MHz) radio. Every five (5) minutes it sends out a beacon of information about the setup and the request to report back any receptions. Any incoming packets are being logged to the disk. If an incoming packet appears to be an APRS packet, it should get digipeated.
