- There are clubs that may be of benefit to people who want to learn
- more about packet radio. Here's some info.
- North East Digital Association (I'm editor for this one)
- Box 563 Manchester NH 03105 - NEDA runs a LARGE TheNET network of
- 35 multiport nodes over a 400mile range including
- Boston, Concord, Manchester, Springfield, Pittsfield
- Albany, Utica, Rochester, Binghamton, Buffalo. No
- phone lines, no tricks, just 150 radios/TNCs with
- dedicated point to point UHF, 220, 6m, 900, 1200mhz
- links and 2m and 220 user access ports. The club publishes about 180
- pages /year of newsletters, new user help stuff, tech stuff etc.
- The Quarterly is about 35 pages/quarter.
- Membership is $15/year for US. Send a SASE to the
- POBox.
-
- Northern California Packet Association
- This is an education and coordination club that puts out a quarterly
- journal called the Downlink. The one I have here is 20 pages long and
- is chock full of packet stuff. THey are
- NCPA 6680 Alhambra Ave, Suite 111 Martinez CA 94553
-
- Then there's a few magazines:
- New England TCPer - This journal comes out 6 times a month and $12/year
- NE TCPer 252 Stow Rd. Harvard, MA 01451
-
- Digital Digest - TCP, AMTOR, RTTY, CW everything 6 times a year and
- is 30 to 40 pages long including commercial advertising. $16/year
- Digital Digest 4063 N. Goldenrod Rd Winter Park Florida 32792
-
-
- Joining a club, even a non-local one is a good way to get into correspondance
- that will answer some of the harder questions. One of the items that
- I helped create recently for NEDA was a 13 page glossary of packet terms
- that the club will probably make available. It was created for a technical
- developement meeting in Scranton Pa a couple of weekends ago.
