THANKS TO THE MACINTOSH IΓÇÖM FINALLY HAVING FUN WITH COMPUTORS.
RECEIVED YOUR NAME FROM JIM, KE0PH WHOSE PACKET GOODIES SEEM INTERESTING..HE SUGGESTED SENDING YOU SOME DISKETTES ON WHICH YOU COULD COPY A ΓÇ£BUNCHΓÇ¥ OF SHAREWARE STUFF FOR MAC SEVERAL YEARS AGO I GOT BACK INTO HAM RADIO TO FULFILL AN EARLIER AMBITION(NOVICE IN ΓÇÿ57-KN0RGJ). HAVE HAD THE MOST ENJOYMENT IN WORKING DX: 232 WORKED, 192 CONFIRMED. HAD TRIED TO USE EXCEL FOR LOGGING WHICH WORKS TO SOME EXTENT BUT IS LACKING ANY OF THE EXTRA GOODIES AVAILABLE ON SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED LOGGING PROGRAMS.
AM USING AN IC 751A, AN SB220,AND A TET 4 ELEMENT TRIBANDER ON A WILSON CRANKUP TOWER AT 42 FT MAX.. WORK MAINLY SSB BUT WILL GET BACK INTO SOME CW AS SOLAR CYCLE DECLINES. AM NOT LOOKING FOR ANYTHING REAL SOPHISTICATED SUCH AS LINKING HF RADIO TO PACKET FOR AUTOMATIC SETUP OF FREQ. ETC.. JUST A NICE DX LOGGING PROGRAM THATS FUN TO USE AND CAPABLE OF PROVIDING QSL STATUS AND POSSIBLY PRINT OUT A NEEDS LIST.
HAVE A LC III, I SHARE WITH THE FAMILY. AM PRESENTLY USING A TANDY 1400 LT FOR PACKET. THE LATER WILL EVENTUALLY BE REPLACED BY A MAC BUT MODEL UNKNOWN. AM HOPING THE POWER PC WILL CAUSE A DROP IN USED MAC PRICES SO AM NOT IN A BIG HURRY TO DO ANYTHING RASH.
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. AM LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING WHAT GGODIES YOU HAVE ACCESS TO. HAD THOUGHT FOR AWHILE THAT MAC STUFF WAS NON-EXISTENT, GUESS IT PAYS TO BE PATIENT AND KEEP THE FAITH.
TAKE CARE AND ENJOY,

I have a Macintosh SI 5/80. For packet radio I use ZTerm 0.9 terminal emulator and MFJ 1270B TNC. Other amateur radio interests are HF ragchewing and 2 meter FM. My main problem is I live in an apartment and only HF antenna is indoor 20m dipole.
I would like to receive any amateur radio related Mac software you have available. Please find enclosed 2 disks as requested.
By the way, thanks for the ham exam software you recently sent me

HINTS'N KINKS: If you've ever had problems with your MAC keyboard, with keys that either don't work, or work continuously, don't despair! With a little care you can clean the key switches and have reasonable confidence that you'll be successful. It's certainly worth the try, especially if you don't want to lay out the $$$ for a new KB or to have your 'friendly' dealer do the repair. If interested, I can provide details of a procedure that I used with excellent results. 73, mark

Comments: My family and I spend summers crusing the southern waters in our Hunter 42' sloop outfitted with HF and VHF radios. When crusing, I prefer using CW and packet, if a VHF station is nearby. I also use my powerbook 170 and AEA 232K to tune into the National High Seas Weather forcasts in CW and FEC modes.
Questions: I am always on the lookout for hams how have good ideas about installing electronics on sailboats, particularly ground systems. Currently, I am trying to connect my Mac into our boat's "Seatalk" system. This should allow for automatic logging of GPS information as well as water depth and speed through the water.
By the way John, this is very timely because my wife is currently studying for the Tech-Plus exam. I think the idea of using 2 meters instead of the marine VHF band attracted her.

Interests: As you can see from my equipment list my interests on the ham bands is both in QRP/CW HF operation and VHF ragchewing/packet. I don't get to operate as much as I'd like too but spend a few hours a week listening. I'm also part of an informal group the gets together every Saturday morning for breakfast down at the Marshfield, MA Masonic lodge, we also serve as the local VE group and occasionally get out for a round of golf.
I started out on the Apple IIe and got the MAC a few years ago the Dell is on loan from work, I use it for sales presentations and simple CAD design (EasyCAD). I have done some programing in Applesoft on the IIe and Quickbasic on the MAC, I'd like to try ThinkC or QuickC sometime. Mostly just hack around with canned programs.
I'd like to give TCP/IP a try, I used to be on a Unix box, VAX785 caf.mit.edu, and miss alot that I was able to do; E-mail, FTP, etc. So I'm sending an extra disk, could you please give me a current copy of the TCP/IP program for the MAC along with the current NET.HOST file. Any other info you have would be most appreciated, as in who issues the local node addresses, how to set up the folders, and whatever.
Thanks for your interest and your help, I be looking for you on the air and a ham occasions.

I tend to work mostly HF, 20 meter cw and phone and 40 or 80 meter cw. Some dx, mostly rag chewing. I like home brew projects but don't have much time for anything extensive. Mostly use packet to watch the bulletins and occasionally leave messages. I also follow the INFO-HAM forum on Bitnet. (By the way, Bitnet is a great way to obtain public domain software if you have access to it.)
I use Mac's extensively at work (research chemistry and physics) including scientific data analysis and real-time data acquisition. Laboratory interfacing is done with Nubus boards or via Camac crate, using National Instruments LabView or C programs. All done on MacII's or accelerated Pluses connected to each other and larger machines via Ethernet.
I have not used the Mac extensively in Ham radio except as a packet terminal.
Questions:
Is there a better packet terminal program than VersaTerm or Red Ryder? I would like to have a real split screen. (Otherwise VersaTerm is a great program.)

I run a macintosh s.e. 2.5 mbyte ram, with 30 mbyte hard drive and two floppies. My radio is a ts440 for h.f. and a heathkit hw 2036 for vhf. I am most interested in establishing a weekend "wormhole" between the Anchorage area and a lower 48 city. The worm hole would be via telephone modem with expenses shared between the two ends, I figure a couple of hours of "wormholing" on a saturday afternoon would be a great way to get to know some of the hams down there. With this in mind i need help implementing tcp/ip on my macintosh. Does anyone have some "user friendly" instructions, preferably step by step they can give me. I know that tcp/ip is supposed to be efficient, etc etc. but frankly, i dont have the time to learn it, i already have a job hi hi. So how about someone making it easy for me. For those of you who might be interested we have some very unique conditions here in alaska, 10 meters is dead most of the time, we often have arctic flutter on 80 meters, and our major source of 80 meter interference late at night is japanese broadcasting. Those of you who chase the low orbiting satellites might be interested to know that due to our northern latitude we get almost all of the rs10-11 passes. On the 20 meter band since we are so close to Europe over the pole, 20 meters is open almost every night. I guess that is because in the summer especially, there is never a place in the northern hemisphere where the sun is not shining. Here in Anchorage it never gets totally dark from the middle of May thru the middle of August. The majority of my radio contacts on frequencies above 10 mhz are japanese. According to my map Tokyo is 90 miles farther from Anchorage than New York City. Since i get up at 11 am most of the time the band is usually open to japan when i am active. Also the Anchorage hams are starting to form links with hams in the russian far east, including sending older ssb rigs to hams in siberian cities. We hope that as the border becomes more and more open we can establish relationships with the UA stations based on meeting each other face to face. Well thats the story from alaska, listen for special event station KL7JFU during the iditarod sled dog race. We intend to be on the air a lot during the race.

This is a small town in the near of Hannover, you may know this city because of the big Fairs, that take place in spring: Hannover CeBIT and Hannover Fair Industry..
Locator: JO 42 MQ
RIG: YAESU 736 - R
VHF / UHF / Vertikal - / Horizontal - Yagi
TNC: PK 232 - MBX
Macintosh: LC 10 / 40
SOFTWARE: MacTerminal 3.0
Excel 3.0, QuarkX-Press, Ragtime, Claris Works
AGE: 32 years old
Licence: I┬┤ve got my licence since 1990. With the help of my
Macintosh I┬┤m going
to improve my licence class to a different call, for
example
DL ........., but
CW-training for me means to have a lot of time and
patience. But till the
end of this year I hope to be successful........
I join our hobby together with my father: DH4OAF.
Interests: - Macintosh computers, Packet Radio,
- Packet-Radio -contacts all over the world...
- travelling - especially to North America and South-East Asia
- I live at the border of a lake that┬┤┬┤s why I love all kinds of water-sports.
At my qrl I┬┤ve got a MS-DOS machine, so I know the big difference between simple MS-DOS -versions and a computer like ours. (HI). I┬┤m busy with young people who would like to become journalists at a German broadcasting - station.
I ΓÇÿm only since October 91 qrv on Packet Radio, therefore I┬┤m looking for some more comfortable software; for example a terminal programme with splitted screen.
It is a pity, but in Germany there aren┬┤┬┤t so many hams with APPLE Macintosh and I feel happy to join your consortium.
my name is yl Petra. I'm living in the northern part of Germany, in a town
called Hannover. You may know this city because of the fairs, which take
place in spring. I've got a copy of your fantastic Macnet ROSTER with
225 hams. It is a great idea to make the communications between those hams better using a Macintosh. In Europe there a only a few people even knowing to handle with an APPLE. So it is very difficult to get some hamsoftware.
I'm still looking for a programm with split screen. In the moment I work
with MacTerminal. But there maybe better ones. I would like to join the Macnet and would like to get some more informations.
My station: FT 736, PK 232 MBX, Antenna: Yagi. I own the Macintosh
LC 10/40. I'm working with Excel and have a little experience in QuarkXpress. Well, that's all for today. I look forward to get your answer.

I am 53 of years and work for a Dusseldorf downtown TV Satellite Contracting Company, management division.
Naturally, I would like to have the most recent HC stack on Packet Users and am also grateful to you for another handful of tips for RR┬┤s Terminal Program which I rate best under all terminal programs I┬┤ve seen so far.
I thank you again for informing me via radio, have received 2 letters up til now, with some
others hopefully to come. We will inform our known Mac users here in Europe via uploading into the appropriate boxes and personal letters.

I recently registered my copy of Virtuoso with Jim KE0PH and he enclosed information that by sending you a couple of blank discs, I could receive some amateur radio Macintosh programs.There is very little readily available in the UK.
My main interest just now is in Packet.
Outside radio, I have an interest in the history of local railways, and have written a book (using the Mac, of course!!) on our local branch-line which was closed some 30 years ago.
I am a Chemistry teacher at the local secondary school.
I have a Mac LC with 10Mb and run System 7.
My QTH is just 10 miles north of the Anglo-Scottish border.
My home BBS is GB7BMR which is some 40 miles south of me in the Nort-West of England.

I'm glad your interested in looking at our SWL computer program. The Beta program should be ready for your look in about 3 weeks. The Beta version that you receive will not have full-up user documentation, but will have full-up balloon help. Hopefully, the program is sufficiently intuitive that you will be able to weed through it with no problem.
This computer program will provide dynamic gray line, LUF & MUF, great circle graphics of distance on a mercator projection, world times, and a SWL sked. with ~50 stations and more than 1000 broadcasts. The program allows remote control of the Drake R8, NRD-535 and Kenwood R5000 (and most functions for the Kenwood TS-440S). Additionally, radio memory can be downloaded & uploaded, and station names can be attached to radio channels. Tuning of the radio and full radio feedback occurs in about one second. The SWL sked. is accessed now. The user can setup tuning, turn on/off at specified times over a 31 day period. Does logging, including repetition checks, notes, etc. Any data can be printed on any printer: ImageWriter to LaserWriter. On & on. Many more capabilities.
The program is ~700k bytes, with data bases ~900k bytes, & is fully systems 6.3 through 7.1 compatible. In fact, we are also System7Pro compatible.
The motivation behind this program was a lack in full spectrum SWL programs for the Mac, and the programs available are too slow for the full range of users: Mac Plus to Quadra. Even on the Quadra, in our minds, SW Navigator (HyperStack) is too slow.
With our program, on the first pass, the gray line will draw slow on a Plus (lots of trig functions), but will draw fast from the 2nd pass on out (updates automatically every 15 minutes), even if you turn it off and back on. This is because we build a structure with all Latitudes calculated from the 1st pass. Subsequent gray line updates are calculated from this structure. Hopefully, that will help users of older/slower Macs.
The Beta version is in color, hope you have a color Mac, please let me know.
This program is under development by myself and a friend. We expect to sell it for $90, and are looking at a cheap subscription for updates of the station data base, probably around $10 twice a year.
Enclosed is an SASE and a 1.4M disk for your Macnet Roster stack. Our address is:

I are not a HAM, but have lots of on the air time communicating between U. S. Navy ships, as I spend lots of time underway - world wide. My wife is expert in contacting me via any means, including MARS, Navy messages, class "E" messages, INMARSAT, you name it. So, I guess we qualify as a communicators of sorts. I am not in the Navy, but am employed by a university in Baltimore, designing and building prototype (future) shipboard combat system capabilities, principally in the area of Anti Air Warfare (defense).
We got reacquainted with shortwave listening during Desert Storm, where we had 4 kids assigned. Finally, I even went over, on the job, but didn't see any of them! In any case, initially, as you know, CNN had it all. In fact, the guys in USS Ranger observed, in realtime, their first strike by receiving CNN via a Soviet satellite located over the Persian Gulf. Now thats communications! To this day we listen to shortwave, more me than my wife, especially while writing code for the SWL program.
Thanks for the help.
Yours
Ed Lee

Saw your flyer at Rivendale. I have a MAC SE and a 512K. On the low bands I run an ICOM 735. In the shack for VHF/UHF I use a Kenwood 721 and in the car an ICOM IC-2400. My main intrests are DX, UHF/VHF repeaters, antenna and circuit design. Presently I am working on a home brew 10 meter beam. I would like to sell the 512K and wonder if your group maintains a used equipment list.
I'm looking forward to receiving the public domain software you mentioned.

I read about Macnet on the local (WA4ONG) BBS and am sending you this disk for my registration. I am relatively new to the MAC environment, coming from a TRS80, Model 1 in the late '70;s, followed by a CPM KAYPRO until 1983 when I purchased a shiny new IBM PC, which I used and upgraded until 1987, when I found a "deal" on a "fast" 6 MHz IBM-AT. I used it and an 8 MHZ AT until March, 1990 when I purchased a '386-20, which I still have, along with a new '386-33. I purchased this MAC several weeks ago just to learn a bit about MACS in general. I teach data processing courses in a local community college and thought that I should know something about other environments. I had hoped to buy one out of my departmental budget, but as you have no doubt heard, Virginia is having a difficult time balancing the budget, and there is no money for new toys at this time. I purchased this MAC IIsi with the 80 MB HD and 5 MB of ram. I am using the 13 inch RGB monitor and enhanced keyboard. I don't have much software yet; this document is being created on MS WORD version 4. I also have the student edition of ALDUS PAGEMAKER, which is a good deal at $50, and does almost everything that the $500 package does. I have not purchaed a printer yet. I just sold my HP IIP which was too slow. I need both IBM and MAC compatibility so I think I will buy a HP LASER II (there are quite a few of these still in dealers inventories, for about $1000) and use MACPRINT to drive it. I have EXCEL for the MAC and also use it on the PC's along with MS WORD and WINWORD. I have WINDOWS, but I don't run it often.
The radio collection here includes everything from 1.6 MHz to 1.2GHz;
mostly ICOM. I operate three GE MASTR II repeaters on VHF, an ICOM 220
repeater and 2 GE MASTR II UHF repeaters. I am active on packet, and had one of the first digital repeaters on 2 meters in Virginia.
I am looking for good telecommunications programs for the MAC, both phone modem and packet TNC. I have Red Ryder, but have been unable to make it work with my Practical Peripherals PM2400SA. I would like to have a functional equivalent to YAPP for the MAC.
I think I've supplied all requested info and look forward to receiving info
from MACNET.

Over the weekend I wrote a new program just for the Mac. You may want to add it to your list of stuff. The details are below:
If you would like the capability of calculating your own Maidenhead Grid location (these are the grid locations requested by many BBS) quickly and simply, this program is free for the asking. It is written specially for the Macintosh. It has been been made ΓÇ£MacishΓÇ¥ with pulldown menus and dialog boxes. It also has a built-in Help file to make things easy for you. Your latitude and longitude is all that is required. This is available from a globe, map, library or local airport.
If you would like a copy of Maidenhead Grid Locator, send a SASE disk mailer along with a 800k pre-formatted disk to:
Bob Stamper, K4CFV
12510 Shadowrun Blvd.
Riverview, FL 33569
September 93
I see the ARRL bbs is offering a free DX forecasting graphic program for all hams. Am also confident that this program is DOS based. I know many of you Mac users have been using my MiniMuf V 5.0 for the Mac with graphic display and seem to be pleased with its results. Not to be out done by the ARRL (which I am a life member) and the DOS community (which I am not a member), I am still offering free a sightly updated version of MiniMuf for the Mac. To receive your free copy of V 5.1 along with complete documentation, send an 800K formated disk along with a self addressed, POSTAGE PAID disk mailer to:
Bob Stamper, K4CFV
12510 Shadowrun Blvd
Riverview, FL 33569

As an amateur operator and Macintosh computer user, I am interested in any group that can help me locate Mac software for amateur radio applications. My wife and son have been studying for their licenses and I have been having a hard time finding any software that will help them, or that I can use in my own amateur radio operation. What little I've been able to find I will list below with the information you requested:
Macs used: Macintosh IIcx & Macintosh Plus
Radios used: HF: Yeasu FT-107DMS
VHF: Yeasu FT-480R, Icom IC-251A, Icom IC-02AT
Software used: Virtuoso 1.3: packet radio comm's program
Morse: Morse code practice
MacMorse: Morse code practice
Morse Code Instruction 1.0: Morse code practice
Technician Ham Test v3.0: HyperCard stack for Tech'n test practice
- All were downloaded from N6OYU/San José -
The programs/files listed above are included on this disk. I presumed you were only interested in what amateur radio related software I use.
Virtuoso seems to work fine, but certainly lacks the many features that packet programs for MS-DOS machines have.
The code practice programs are all functional, and each has a nice feature or two. But, if all the best features of each were combined they would still not be as good as programs available for MS-DOS machines.
Technician Ham Test is a nice stack that constructs practice tests from the entire question bank for the Technician class element. The only problem is that, since the questions administered are selected at random, it can take a very long time before the user gets a shot at all of the questions.
Evidently, there is not much commercial interest in amateur radio related software for the Mac, or many Mac programmers who are amateur radio operators, or there would not be such a dearth of amateur radio related goodies for the Mac.
I'm pleased you are spending the time and energy it takes to put Macnet together and administer it. For my part, I'm happy to find a group like this and will do what I can to support it.
Best 73,
Bill, K9ASL

(originally a 128k purchased the first month Macs came out.
Upgraded to a 512k w/64k roms. Upgraded to 128k roms w/800k disk drives. Upgraded to new board w/1meg memory and SCSI port added.)
(128 > 512 > 512E > Plus )
Currently I am running with a Paradise Serial 20meg hard drive, 800k external drive, Thunderscan scanner with OCR software, & Koala Vision to hookup a video camera or vcr to the Mac.
I use the Mac mainly in Spreadsheets and Word Processing. I have been using it in packet under Microsoft Works communication programs. I have not tried other communication programs yet on packet. I mainly use Microsoft Excel, Mac Write, Mac Paint and Microsoft Works.
I have interface my Mac with the Kantronics KAM connected to a Kenwood 2600 with a Alpha One amp to a discone antenna for my VHF unit. On HF I have a Kenwood TS440s connected to a dipole. I plan on using this setup on Civil Air Patrol frequencies as well as ham frequencies. My 440 has the computer interface so at certain times I hope to have the flip to CAP frequencies will be automatic and return to ham frequencies.
I also have a Tandy 1400LT laptop portable computer. This also I will use to interface to my ham hobbies or control my 440.
I have enjoyed this new area of packet. I would like to find a split screen program for packet and a wefax program for my computer. I have not found any ham related programs for my Mac. That is one reason for the Tandy 1400LT computer(also it is a laptop for emergency/portable packet communications).
I am involved with Civil Air Patrol and with Missouri Baptist Convention Disaster Relief. I am interested emergency services and disaster relief applications related to ham radio and my Mac.
I am looking forward to the ham related programs that you have. I am happy to see that there is a MAC net. I would also like to say thank you for the time the people responsible for this together.

Dear John, just got my Tech ticket the beginning of October. I only have an ICOM 2GAT Handheld (7 Watts!) but I'm having a good time. I'm studying for my General, and would appreciate any Public Domain Code Help programs you may have. My Mac is a Mac SE.My goal is to keep the ICOM 2GAT only, but also have a TEN-TEC to run CW only on 80 meters (not just QRP). But I gotta get the "13"!. And I will. I found your flyer at Tel-Com in Littleton, MA. That's what I do, too, as a home business--Advertising Flyer Design. (As we're not on the air, I've enclosed one of my own Flyers.)
This is great--I hope I have all the information to your liking and I assume I could give you a call on the Derry repeater.
Thanks John. (Oh yes...my phone number is: (508) 692-4260.
P.S. By chance, do you or any of your members subscribe to the Prodigy Network? It is, as I'm sure you know, now available for Macintosh users. If so, please add me to the list.

Thanks for the membership into Macnet. As I mentioned in my packet, my name is
I do most of my work on a Mac IIsi, but I also have a 512Ke. Both computers run MacRATT packet software from AEA. The IIsi runs under System 7.1, while the 512 uses System 6.5. I also have the Think C 5.0 C compiler, so I can do some development work.
My packet controller is a PK-232MBX, with an Icom IC-W2A handitalkie as the
transceiver. I also have a Kenwood TW-4000A VHF/UHF tranceiver and an Icom 701 HF
rig.
My ham interests are packet, VHF/UHF voice, and HF cw. I would like to get
started in TCP/IP, so I need to find out about the availability of ham software for
the Mac. Any general packet info would be helpful, as well as a morse tutor for the
Mac. If you have a list of bulletin boards or PBBS's that carry such software
I'd appreciate a listing.
I like to play around with electronics projects, so any info you might have about
amps, filters, tuners, etc would be useful.
Thanks again for the help.

I'm using a Macintosh Plus with external 800k drive, Epson printer with a Grappler C interface. The TNC is a Advanced Electronic Applications PK-88 hooked to the ICOM IC-25A radio. Antenna is the AEA Isopole 144, up about 40 feet.
Low band rig here is the Kenwood TS-830s running barefoot into a KLM KT-34A also at 40 feet. Not on low band packet yet, soon maybe.
Have had the Macintosh about six months now and am enjoying it very much. Macs are great computers. I get some ribbing for the local hams, they all use either IBM clones or Commodores. Can't find a single local ham using a Mac.
My interests fall into a wide range, but I guess computers and ham radio are at the top of the list.
Oh! Should also tell about the software used on this end. Using the new (I got serial #65) MacRatt from AEA. Seems to work fine, just getting on packet I can't compair it to anything.
Well don't want to make this too long. Thanks for leaving the message on packet. Hope to hear from you soon. Best of 73's. Jim McNew, KA6QLQ

Sign me up. I was beginning to wonder if anybody in ham radio had even heard of the Macintosh computer. So I am really interested in what other hams are doing with the Mac. I have a SE with dual floppies, an internal 30 mb and an external 60 mb hard disk. We also have a couple of laser printers (it helps that my wife
recharges/remanufacturers toner cartridges for a living).
I am mostly a packet fellow. Have a KDK 2 mtr rig into an MFJ TNC 2
packet box. Also have an Icom 740 into a Butternut vertical. Don't do
much on the HF bands these days. Am using red ryder for terminal software.
Would like to use Hypercard, but haven't been able to get any of the serial
xcmd's to work correctly with my TNC, may have a cable problem, or something
else I don't understand yet.
I'm a CPA by profession, but currently working for Boeing Computer Services
as a Network analyst! (you take what you can get). Been the in the micro-
computer business for about 10 years. Been a ham for about 3 years.
Starting to get interested in video. have a camcorder and vcr. am still
trying to justify setting up ham tv station. doesn't seem to be too much
activity around here for that and the $ are little hard to justify for
as little actual air time I would get out of it. But the interest is still
there, especially if I can afford to upgrade the Mac system here to IIx or
cx model. But that will depend on the wife's business. She's supposed
to buy my computer because she's using it all of the time to test toner
cartridges, but so far haven't seen any of the proceeds, she keeps mumbling
something about cash flow and operating capital needs, and deferred pay-
ments, all too complicated for the likes of me hi.
Thanks for heading this little Macnet thing up. Look forward to hearing
from you.
Warmest regards,
Bruce. KA7UOV

Interests: Packet, Antennas, Personal Computers, SWLing
Projects: Planning to build a clone, Apple 2 and Mac. I intend to get a multimode TNC to access other modes of amateur and commercial broadcasts. I want to operate WEFAX and receive NOAA satellite info direct.
Software used: MacTerminal, MacPacket, MacNet and MacBM (KA9Q via TAPR).
I have a ton of questions and could fill a disk full. I will wait and pick off them as I go along. I am extremely pleased that there is a group of Mac Hams out there who are active with their machines.

I have been a volunteer with AmeriCares which is a medical relief organization in New Canaan. I have been moving them towards having a Ham station of their own because when there are international emergencies they frequently canΓÇÖt get information on where to send plane loads of medical supplies on land lines. They also have medical teams over the world in remote spots to keep in touch with. As I understand it the Red Cross is now active in this way.
The ARRL recommended that they use AMTOR for message transfer because of the need for accuracy. We had no experience with this mode here abouts. At this point I have a PK-232 currently being set up by Toney Kuces, KA1LLL on PC-DOS. When that is online I will transfer it here. I have been exploring what the options were to use the Mac as a controller- not that I can tie one down for that use alone. I have an Apple II from way back that I was going to use but the keyboard is now not working and then there is again the problem of software. I know there is software for the Mac to control the PK-232 but it sounds expensive.
I was glad to see the Red Ryder procedures and know there is a way to get started. I have been using Microphone II on my Mac for general message transfers with the local Mac user group - BizMac Westport and the Yale MAUG in New Haven. I have a Prometheus modem that I use with America On Line, having dropped Prodigy. I am sure I can get Red Ryder for the Mac and will then need help on getting started.
Thanks John for taking the initative on this - 73

Saw the article in Gateway and I'm excited about any Macintosh oriented
packet radio activity. Mac used - Mac Plus?? (upgraded Mac 128 with
new roms, 800K internal, dove scsi, and 2Meg with a CMS 60 hard drive.) TNC-Kantronics All Mode, I haven't put in a chip upgrade from about a year ago but I'll get a round to it. Mostly I use microphone for a communications program. I'm on compuserve, ID 71401,3355, but it's a long distance call to connect with them so the best way to contact me is a WA2WNI-4. I also
use MacUnderground and am a member of BCS(I can not get thru to their boards
with any regularity at all). sounds like a great idea good luck - 73 Josh

Fat Mac purchased 1984, since upgraded at ridiculous expense to a real Mac Plus, 1 Meg. No hard disk yet ... If I can find a used one at a bargain I'll go for it. I have built up quite a collection of PD software, but I have been remiss lately in keeping up with the latest and greatest stuff. This is partially due to my new found interest in Amateur Radio.
Call is KB2HBW/KT, Novice and Tech issued 1/89.
Rig is a Yaesu FT-411 and a PK232.
Readington, NJ. That's Hunterdon County, the western part of the state.
It doesn't look or smell anything like Newark out here.
I'm an engineer, I design industrial automation systems using custom
microprocessor-based designs. I'm also a pilot, been flying since I was 15 (over 10 years). I have searched in vain for something called MacPacket -- It's communications software for use with packet. If anyone knows where to get it, who makes it, is it any good, etc. I'd like to know!
73s,
PS!!! I understand the next shuttle flight will have ham(s) abord.
Does someone know of a Mac pgm (or source code) for decoding the Kepelerian elements??

Kevin says he is working on one, if he knew there were alot of us out there looking he might speed things up.

Macs Used: I have a IIsi that I use for most purposes,
but I also have an old SE that I use for packet and satellite work.
Radios: For two meters I use an Alinco DJ560 for packet, a Realistic HTX202
for portable, and a Kenwood TR 751A for base station. For HF I have
a Kenwood TS 140S with dipoles for 20, 40, and 80 meters.
Software: For packet I use Savant along with the PacketMac modem from Sigma.
These are satisfactory for now, but I'm hoping your TCP/IP software
will work with the modem. (I also have Net/Mac, but don't really
understand how to use it properly.) For a satellite tracker I have Satellite
Helper, that I got from AMSAT, but its non-Mac structure is tiresome.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find anything better.
Interests: I am active in traffic handling, satellite tracking and listening, and my
wife Elizabethann, KB7VLB, and I are also very involved with our local
club and with ARES at the County and District levels. I do no DX chasing
or contesting, but I am regular on the Alaska Pacific Net on 20 m and
chat with friends around the US on HF. I also enjoy design and construction
of antennas and bunny-hunting.
I am enclosing three formatted disks on which to receive the Test Simulator stack, (I am
currently Advanced grade and Lizann is NC Tech,) the Macnet Roster stack (I have a very old version that has about 120 entries,) and the TCP/IP program, as well as any other stuff
you have that you think I might find useful/interesting.
Besides this ReadMe, I have also put a program that I believe must be in PD since I can't
find any evidence of copyright for it. It's a quite useful Smith Chart program that was put
out by Motorola, and I got it some time back from another ham.
Thanks a lot, and 73,

I have called AEA numerous times about MacRatt, they say no upgrade. They are stuck in the PC world. I would like any Packet-Amtor-Pactor software u have. We have a little net of Boats sailing the South Pacific. We use Amtor/Pactor/Packet and Aplink to communicate. Works great.
I would like to upgrade to a PK-900. I really want the grey scale Weather Fax. Do u know of anyone who has written a Mac program to handle this ... or is there someone who is a savy Mac programer who would be willing to do this? Thanks ... Tom..KB7WIK</text>

I run a KDK 2016A on 2 meters for the packet station, and a Yaesu FT757GX for the low band rig. The TNC is a PK 232 that I use on both rigs. Most of the VHF use is in the local BBS which is @ WA8OOH. I have not done much on HF packet as I don't care for all the retrans. Following is the address:

I just got your message but my setup was not co-operating when it came time to respond to your message. The battery on the HT doesn't last very long. Oh well, the computer setup is a Mac Classic II. As far as the radio side goes, I'm using an Alinco DJ-160T and a PK-232 (which is way overkill for what I'm doing). As you already know, my call is KC1TS and the license class is Advanced. Presently, I'm a freshman attending Keene State College pursuing a major in Industrial Safety. The software that is being used is MacRatt.
If you could send out some current public domain inits or other nifty doo-dads that keep the desktop interesting, that would be great. Also any ham related stuff would be much appreciated. If you're using Stuffitt, the version I've got is 2.0.
Thanks very much, John,
See you on packet,</text>

Hi John
I have IP running and it is working great 2 other guys got "nos" for "dos" versions at the same time it took me 1 day to get it up and running they are still trying. I have the latest version of "Net/Mac 2.3.15" and "IM/Mac 1.0b26" If you need copies of these let me know. The also include a "environment" that has all the folders you need to operate and a "autoexec.net" file that you can modify. If anyone is having problems and want to give me a call I can probably help them.
Thanks for your help. 73 Randy

Macintosh:
I originally started with a 128K Mac, purchased in February 1984,
just after Macintosh was announced. Upgraded to the 512k version, then sold
that for a Plus which I currently run at home. The Plus has a 21.5 Meg
internal hard drive (Michadrive 20AT) which I installed, and an external
Jasmine 80 meg hard drive. I just added a memory upgrade to now have 2.5
meg of Ram. (About as big an increase in productivity as moving up to a
hard drive!) Trying to justify to myself (and XYL) the need to upgrade to a
SE/30. In addition to a packet TNC, I have connected to my Mac, through a
data switch, a 2400 baud telephone modem, an X-10 Home Controller, and a
MIDI interface for connection to my Casio CZ-101 synthesizer.
At work I currently use an SE with plans to either upgrade to the
SE/30 or get a new SE/30. I'm the "Mac Guru"in my work organization, and
am slowly making gains in building the Mac population in the work force in a
majority IBM oriented environment.
Radio(s):
HF rig is the Heath SB104A series complete station. I don't get on HF
much recently since I've located my Mac and packet gear in another room. I
have a Mosley TA-33 with the 40 M extension/adapter, an 11-element 2
meter yagi, and 2-meter omni stacked on top of a 70 ft. folderover Rohn
tower. Two meter and 70 cm is popular here, so I've eqipped myself with
appropriate gear. Packet runs on both freqs. with the 440 being the backbone
interconnect for Alabama and southern Tennessee BBSs. Handheld is an
Icom 02AT. Packet rig (2 meter) is a KDK 2016A. The mobile rig I run is a
Yaesu FT 2700 RH dual band (144/440 mhz).
TNC:
Kantronics KAM - upgraded from the "model 1" of the Kantronics
TNC last July following an electrical surge visit from a thunderstorm. (The KAM has so many features/options that I haven't taken time yet to understand them all.
Comm Software:
I originally used MacPacket/KanTerm but recently purchased Macket
and am now learning to use it.
Other Mac Software used:
In addition to numerous CDevs/Inits and DAs, I use/have the following software packages: CalenderMaker, ConcertWare + Midi, CricketDraw, CricketGraph, MicroSoft Chart, Disk Express, DiskFit, Excel, FullPaint, MicroSoft File, MacDraw, MacDraw II, MacInTax, Macket, MacPaint, MacPassword, MacProject, MacSchedule, MacSQZ, MacWrite, Managing Your Money, MasterJuggler, More, PageMaker 3.0, On Cue, PC Tools for the Mac, SmartCom II, SUM, SuperPaint, Super Spool/Super Laser SPool, Tempo II, MicroSoft Word, X-10 Home Control.
Other Interests:
I enjoy and participate in several outdoor activities including: Sierra
Club (hiking/backpacking), bicycling, running/jogging, and tennis, in
addition to Computer and Amateur Radio activities. I also collect Dragon
and Castle figures/figurines.

A friend KQ4KG, Eddie of Danville, Va. has forward your bulletin concerning Macnet and other Macintosh software for amateur packet operations to me. I have been licensed since January of ΓÇÿ92 as a Technician and am very interested in packet radio.
I am looking for information on how to get started in packet with my Mac but in my area everyone is using either IBM compatible or Commodore equipment and the poor souls can only tell me how an ΓÇ£IBMΓÇ¥ works! HELP!!
My station consists of an Alinco 110 2M, Alinco 590 2M-440 dual band and a Ranger 3500 10M all mode. My computers consists of a Macintosh LCII accelerated to 40Mhz and w/FPU and primary software is Claris Works 1.0v2 , Hyper Card 2.1v5 as well as other applications. My other computer is an Apple IIC and am using Apple Works 1.2 .
My main question is it possible to use the IIC for packet operations for my LCII is rather tied up in my ΓÇ£music roomΓÇ¥. I am a teacher of music and have several applications for music composition and Midi files and cards connected to the LCII. This makes it difficult to transport the LCII down stairs. On the other hand, the IIC is now being used as a data base for QSOΓÇÖs only and sits next to my rigs.
If you think of any good suggestions I could use in my dilemma, I will take them to hart in my endeavors with packet radio.

INTERESTS/COMMENTS: I/VE ONLY HAD PACKET UP & RUNNING SINCE NOV. 13, 1993. I HAD A VERY DIFFICULT TIME GETTING ON THE AIR, PRINCIPALLY BECAUSE KANTRONICS HAS AN INCORRECT WIRING DIAGRAM FOR THE MAC SERIAL PORT (MINI 8) TO KANTRONICS TNC SERIAL PORT (DB-25) ON PAGE 3 OF THE HOST MASTER for the Macintosh USER'S REFERENCE (OWNER'S MANUAL). TO COMPOUND MATTERS THE ALINCO DR-1200T INSTRUCTION MANUAL NOT ONLY HAS AN INCORRECT MIKE PIN TO TNC WIRING DIAGRAM ON PAGE 23 FOR THE KPC-3, BUT ALINCO TRIED TO CORRECT THE ERROR BY PLACING AN ADDENDUM CARD IN THE MANUAL PURPORTEDLY SHOWING THE CORRECT WIRING DIAGRAM: GUESS WHAT? IT IS WRONG....I FOUND ALL THIS OUT AFTER MAKING FIVE, LONG DISTANCE TOLL CALLS TO THE KANTRONICS SERVICE/TECHNICAL SUPPORT IN KANSAS CITY. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS READY TO BUNDLE UP THE ENTIRE PACKAGE AND SEND IT BACK TO THE SELLER.
I COULDN'T FIND ONE MACINTOSH PACKET HAM TO DISCUSS THIS PROBLEM WITH. ALL OF MY CLONE FRIENDS KEPT SAYING WAS I SHOULDN'T BE USING A MAC......BUT, I PREVAILED...THE SYSTEM IS UP AND RUNNING AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO AND I'M HAVING A BALL ON PACKET.. AND, FROM ALL INDICATIONS, HOST MASTER MAC IS A KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF PACKET PROGRAM....
ANYWAY, I AM VERY INTERESTED IN MEETING AND TALKING WITH OTHER HAM MAC USERS. I'M SURE I CAN BENEFIT FROM THE COMMUNICATIONS, AND JUST MAYBE, I MIGHT SAVE A FUTURE MAC PACKET OPERATOR FROM GOING THROUGH THE SAME FRUSTRATIONS THAT I DID.
AS YOU CAN TELL, I AM A MAC PURIST....I'VE BEEN USING MY FIRST MAC, THE PLUS, SINCE DECEMBER 1986 AND I STILL LIKE THE MACHINE...I AM FORCED TO USE CLONES AT WORK BUT I FIND THAT DOS/WINDOWS IS A POOR SUBSTITUTE FOR THE MAC PLATFORM.

Hi John.......Saw a RStraysS in QST that you are keeping a data base of hams which use Macs......Well I am one....and would like to be added to your list. It is great that someone is finally trying to get us RmacS orphans together!
I am using a old but very trusted Mac + with 4 megs/120 meg hard drive....and a PowerBook 100 with 8 megs/45 Meg drive........
My interests are packet and I am trying to build a satellite ground station. I am a space junkie..... so I would love to work the shuttle!
I will be sending the two the requested two disks via the US Mail. Looking forward to getting to get to know some other mac hams.
I am a member of ARRL and AMSAT.
Thanks in advance of your hard work.

Please make me a member! Below is my station information. I really
love using my Macintosh Plus with my PK-232 on the HF bands. I recently got on 30 and 17 meters and have been working those bands a bit. Mostly, I just hang out on 20 meter RTTY. I enjoy rag-chewing and working DX when I find it. Professionally, I am a computer scientist with a Master's Degree. I look forward to participating in your group in the future.
Am using a Mac SE, pk88 with MacRat and Kenwood TR9130 on vhf packet. Also using Icom 735 on hf. Additional software for the Mac I am using is Foxbase (database) and Borland Turbo-Pascal (trying to develop some software for ham radio). Also using Macmininec but not having much luck so I would be particularly interested if anyone else is using it. Have written to the writer a couple of times but get no response.
Thanks for the message John.....really interested in finding other Mac users out there- doesnt seem to be too many.....your messages have been the first Ive seen on net Tnx and 73 ron</text>

Many thanks for sending my message on to Chuck KG5BC. He and I have sent one or two short messages back and forth, and it looks like we may have some serious interests in common (aside from Macs and radios). We havenΓÇÖt chatted enough to know what those interests might be, but I am awaiting his next packet msg in the next day or two. You did a very good thing by passing my msg on to him.
This is the text file asking for some Mac software for hams. I am particularly interested in CW training software and logging software, but anything you have will be much appreciated.
My main rig is a Yaesu FT 890AT and I can connect it to my AEA PK232MBX also for HF packet. For that I use MacRATT from AEA. I use a G5RV up about 40 feet, but I also have a 5 band beam up about 25 feet, with an ΓÇ£armstrongΓÇ¥ rotator. I also have 2 meter packet capability with an ICOM 2SAT handheld. IΓÇÖve also got an ICOM 725 that IΓÇÖll be setting up in my office at school, so that I can have a station at work.
I have three Macs, but the one that is connected to my station is a Mac SE 20. I use AEAΓÇÖs MacRATT on it, but thatΓÇÖs about all I use it for so far. IΓÇÖm particularly interested in CW programs because I NEED to get my CW speed up to 20 wpm by the end of August, because thatΓÇÖs when my year is up from the time I passed the Extra Theory exam. But I donΓÇÖt seem to be very motivated, so if the right CW program came along that provided both training and motivation, IΓÇÖd give you my soul for it.
Anyhow, hereΓÇÖs all the other stuff you asked for in this file. If this disk isnΓÇÖt big enough for software you would consider sending me, please send along another disk and I will reimburse you, and/or send you another disk. Plus I do plan to call when I get to Boston in the Fall.
Thanks again for all your help, John.

I HAVE A MAC IISI WITH 5MB+105MB AND 13" HI RES MONITOR. I RUN MACRATT WITH FAX TO PK-232MBX. RIGS ARE IC765 AND IC735. I ALSO USE VERSATERM PRO AT TIMES AS TERMINAL PROGRAM WHEN I TIRE OF STRUGGLING WITH MACRATT, WHICH NEEDS SOME MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS. ALSO I HAVE INTERFACED THE MAC TO MY MORSE MACHINE, SO THAT I CAN DOWNLOAD TEXT INTO MESSAGE BUFFERS AND TRANSMIT THEM IN FARNSWORTH FOR THE BENEFIT OF KJ6VI WHO IS STUDYING FOR HIS EXTRA. ALSO USE MACSAMUEL FOR PRACTICE AND A VARIETY OF PUBLIC-DOMAIN SOFTWARE MOST OF WHICH IS WORTHLESS. HAVE THE LATEST VERSION OF QLOG, WHICH DOES WORK ON MACS WITH COLOR AS OF LAST WEEK, BUT IS A HUGH ELEPHANT OF A PROGRAM AND WILL UNDOUBTEDLY BE DUMPED WHEN PCLOGIC COMES OUT IN A FEW MONTHS FOR THE MAC.
FAVORITE MODE IS AMTOR, ALTHOUGH I SEEM TO BE ALWAYS LOGGED IN TO AA6QN WHICH IS MY HOME BBS.

I saw your message about MACware and was delighted to see someone working to further the use of MAC software in amateur radio. Locally I know of no other hams that are using MACs. This makes finding software difficult. The only piece of software I have that is worth sending is a tracking program I pulled off Genie a few years ago. It seems to work well though it sometimes has problems when run with other applications. The grayline clock is a demo and does not run realtime but works if you load in the current data. If you have a better one I'd love to have it.
The categories of software I would be interested in are:
Antenna design
Propagation
WEFAX
Satellite
Anything for HF (no contesting)
Packet
Anything that you think is good
Well thanks a lot for your efforts and I hope to hear from you in the future. If I run across any other programs in the future I'll try and send them along.

Heathkit HW-8
Several home brew rigs
VHF - IC-260

At the present time i use the Mac very little for amateur related projects, but i do have hopes to get it working for ham radio.
I am currently on packet with Commodore C-64's and AEA's PK-64A [ on VHF and soon on 40m { I Hope !!!} ], Pac Comm's Micro-Two and Digicom>64. I responded to a note in a past QST and received a disc of amateur related software. While i do not want to tie up the Mac for extended periods i would like very much to get up on packet and be able to take fuller advantage of its power and ease of operation.
I have always leaned towards the QRP {p} part of the hobby and find home brewing a very important part of the hobby.
Tnxs much,
Tim

Activites and Interests: I am interested in all modes of operation. I got my TNC about a week ago and am just beginning to explore the digital modes. I have been trying HF packet alot lately. I need to get information about VHF packet in my area and find out if my HT will have enough power to work. I have been licensed since February 1993 and now hold an advanced ticket.
I use Macintosh computers exclusively at the recording studio where I work and am glad to see that I can use them for Amateur radio as well. I may be reached on America On Line as Studio B2.

I was beginning to fear the worstΓÇöthat Macs and Hams were mutually exclusive. Then your message popped up on the local bbs. I took pleasure in pointing out to my clone-head friends that I am not the only Mac Ham in existance. They are still dubious, but the MACNET ROSTER should convince them!!!
I am retired and am returning to ham radio after a rather long intermission devoted to working, family rearing, etc. At this point I have very little to contribute but that will change soon ( I Hope! ).
Station:
Macintosh LC (System 7.1)
Kantronics KAM Plus
Kantronics Hostmaster
Alinco DR-1200
ICOM IC-735
I am particularly interested in finding a way to receive HF facsimile. The few pieces of Mac ham software that I have are probably well known but I will include them anyway in case they would be useful.
Looking forward to contacting you and other Mac hams...

<Morse Master v1.0>
The newest of the morse code training programs. MM calculates the
real speed as follows: Real speed = Number of Words/end time -
start time. And the lengh of word is generating randomly, so if
you set even 5WPM, sometimes another value will appear. However
you should believe the slidebutton's value. If you repeat many
times, the average speed should be 5WPM (if not... anyway, believe
the slidebutton's value). Archive is available mac.archive.umich.edu,

in steps of 10Hz instead of using MIDI frequencies; Speed and
tempo limits increased to 80 words/minute as a result of the
enhanced sound generator; User-selectable font in the Misc settings
dialog. FREEWARE!
This version uses TrueType fonts instead on bitmaps fonts so that
the user can distinguish 0(zero) from O(character). Furthermore
speed and tempo can be given in either characters/minute or
words/minute. Archive is available mac.archive.umich.edu, path:

<CW Speed Builder v3.0>
This program is for improving Morse Code (CW) reception skill.
The major difference between this and other Morse Code training
programs is that this one will not continue sending until you
provide the correct answer. Major changes which have been suggested
and implemented since last version include: after three incorrect
responses the program shows the correct character; the list of
characters at the end which will show those you know and those
you need more practice on; the frequency of the tone has been
changed; volume of the tone has been reduced; the character " - "

Thanks for including me in your Mac users list. Some time ago my son, N0ILS,
received a disk from you with several shareware things on it.
I'm assuming you're running HostMaster. User feedback is appreciated. Let me know what you like/don't like. Any sugesstions for the next release? What version are you running? Currently, I think Kantronics is shipping version 1.1e. I have a few enhancements (and bug fixes) in the latest version, 1.2.
If you're not aware, I also wrote Marathon, a contest logging application. There was a recent review in World Radio (Dec '93) if you're interested. Thanks again John. Best wishes for 1994.

I recently picked up a copy of your Macnet announcement at Telcom, and decided to drop you a disk. I'm not sure what you meant by home BBS, but I can be reached via any one of three landline BBS in descending order of use: SPAWARS (account #21); BCS MAC; or Compuserve (ID #73707,1551). N1GRC [44.56.0.171] for TCP/IP.
Right now, my shack consists of a Mac Plus with 2.5 Meg, a hard disk, and a 2400 baud modem; a Radio Shack 10-meter rig; and a Kenwood TH-215A with a Mirage 823 A amp.
One of the projects I am planning will involve setting up a 2 meter packet station to distribute the propagation reports I download from the Space Environment Laboratory (almost) every morning. Currently, I am uploading them to the SPAWARS BBS. Being a relative newcomer to amateur radio, and knowing very little about packet, I'm sure I'll need a lot of help setting everything up. I hope this is an area where you and your group can help. In fact, if you can relate any info regarding setting up a PBBS, I would appreciate it.
Right now, I don't have much ham-specific software. I use a database file to store my log, and a template in MacDrawΓäó to print QSL cards. The only program I have found so far that would be useful to me is MacLogger1.1, which is a field day logging program. I've talked to the author, VE3GUS, and he tells me that he has released a newer version, but I have not found it yet. I you have a copy, I would appreciate it if you send it to me. Also, the only stacks I've found so far are not very helpful, and as I am not too familiar with Hypercard, I can't tune them up myself very easily yet.</text>

I have been programming celestial navigation and astronomy on the Mac (for teaching), using Basic, Pascal, and Hypertalk. Have also been doing short-wave listening with Sony 2010. This year, I got my technician's Ham license. Now to buy a transceiver!
I am looking forward to retiring in a few years, and my goal is to do a lot of sailing and create a computer/radio system that will allow me to communicate world-wide from a boat with a minimum of fuss. In the meanwhile, I want to explore possibilities in Packet.
I am also interested in developing Macintosh software and I would be interested in hearing what software other Hams are dying to have available.
Here are some personal stats:
Computer: Mac SE and IIx.

My primary ham radio interests at the moment include 2-meter and 440 voice and packet.
By day, I'm a Software Architect in the Macintosh group at Lotus.
We're working on a new release of 1-2-3/Macintosh; I believe we're
one of the largest Mac development groups on the East Coast.
I don't have any shareware to offer at the moment, but I'll keep my eyes open and forward anything that looks interesting.
I appreciate what you're up to with MACNET. I notice that the ham world, like much of the business world, is very IBM-centric, so it's been hard to find Macintosh ham applications. I'm particularly interested in finding out more about TCP/IP for the Mac.

Radio and computer interests
1. Getting the beam high enough so that I can reach the repeater.
2. Passing the code test at 20 wpm. ( I am still working on 5wpm)
I have passed the general written.
3. EME would be fun.
4. I would love to contact the Shuttle or Mir.
5. I would love to have Spice on a suitable Mac. I do some electronic design work and would like to be able to simulate circuits before breadboarding .
I have owned this Mac since 1984 when I purchased it as a 128k Mac. Since then it has been upgraded at every opportunity and is now a Mac plus. It has seen me through the M.B.A. program at Plymouth State College and I use it for many other things as well. As treasurer for Northeast Slopes, a nonprofit community ski area I use it for creating advertising, for correspondence, and for doing the accounting.
In my job as research engineer at Dartmouth College, I use macs in many other situations including computer aided design and computer aided manufacturing. We have a CNC machine that is driven by a mac in the machine shop and in the electronics shop we have a machine that takes a file from the Douglas board layout program and actually creates a prototype board.

At the present time, I am using a Mac Classic and am new to this whole packet mode. I use a Kenwood TH-77A HT with a Daiwa LA-2035 amp and a MFJ (yuck) 1274 TNC on a 5/8 vertical antenna. I have triedbox, but with no success ( maybe you will get my message because I am still trying).
I am a Tech Ed teacher at Killingly High School in Danielson, Ct., and teach graphic communications. Next year, I would like to expand my program into electronic communications and have some students interested in ham radio (plus my children). I am looking for any programs that I could use on the Macs, since I have 16 in the lab that we use for desktop publishing. I am interested in satellite communication (tracking program?), antennas, R/C, packet programs, and, on a personal note, to upgrade to General and above (CW tutor?).
Well, thatΓÇÖs about it. ItΓÇÖs great that there are finally programs out there for the better computers. ΓÇÿ3 to ya.

Hello, my name is Dana Rawding and my call is N1OFZ. I have a Mac Plus with 4 megs of ram and 80 megs in hard drive storage at home. I have an SI at work and a Powerbook that belongs to my department, which I take on trips and home on the weekends. I use a MFJ-1270B TNC and Zterm terminal software. I also own the MFJ software but I find it much too limited for general use. I have an ICOM IC-H16 and a Realistic HTX-202 for 2 meter radios, both put out 1 to 6 watts depending on the power source and when home or mobile I also take along my rfconcepts rfc 2-23 amp which will put out up to 45 watts.
I have not found any local BBS's that carry radio programs for the Mac so I hope that Macnet will have a few programs that I can play around with. I have written a few programs in BASIC as well as a few Hypercard stacks that I use for frequency management myself but I would be interested to see what else is out there. I'm also interested in setting up my own PBBS so if you know of public domain or commercial software please let me know.
Please send me any information that you have regarding your organization. I'm very pleased to hear that there is an organization for fellow Mac users.
Thank You for your time and I hope to hear from you soon.

P.S.
I visit my family in Peabody, MA which is right next to Salem. I don't think that it is too far from where you are located. Let me know and maybe we can get together some time over this comming summer.</text>

Comments: New to Pkt, just getting started 5/29/88. Still looking for a home PBBS. David has a MacII and is a Sr. Systems Programmer for NYU's Academic Comp. Center in the Grad. School of Business, New York University.
Hello again, old friend. I picked up your bulletin off of BBSWOK and am quite pleased to
a) join your database and
b) obtain some MAC ham software.
I have used your CD rom autocall feature on NHNET 3 or 4 times already (checked my own call for accuracy,...yep, even has my DOB.) Pretty sharp. I guess you might say that I have the Packet bug. I monitor just about every night now and check the little PK-88 maildrop when I get home at night. Its gotten to be a habit just like checking the U.S. mail and the evening paper.
Here are some stats for the database:
MAC: Classic with 2 Mb of DRAM and a 40 Mb hard drive.
Printer: havenΓÇÖt gotten one yet but leaning toward the HP Deskwriter.
TNC: PK88 with the Dec., ΓÇÿ90 EPROM.
Packet Rig: IC290 2 meter all mode.
Ant: Ringo, but I am constructing a small 2 M-2 el quad so I can access KB4N and SWNH. I get into SNH and NHNET nicely, but get CENTNH the best.
HTΓÇÖs: IC24 and an IC2SAT.
Mobile: IC28A but will probably upgrade to a dual band soon.
HF: TS-180 Kenwood. Its vintage but my favorite rig. Also an IC-725 which I use for WARC and mobile and SWL.
*Linear-homebrew 4-1000.
*Antennas; 2 element GEM fiberglass cubical quad on 10-15-20M
@ 65 ft and a 75 meter dipole @ 75 ft, fed with 450 ohm ladder line for 75, 40 and WARC.
*Favorite bands; 450 mHz for WorldNet, 2 M for Packet, 10 M for FM dx, 17M for friendly QSOΓÇÖs and 15M for QSOΓÇÖs with VKΓÇÖs & ZLΓÇÖs.
Interests: My favorite activity is hiking/climbing, backpacking /camping. I always carry an HT and am accompanied by my German Sheppard, Zack. There hardly a feeling that can beat watching a sunset on a mountain top with a tent set up and a campstove cooking one of those little dehydrated suppers and sipping a Coors. I enjoy building antennas, HF mobile, packet, 10 meter FM and working DX (but not collecting QSLΓÇÖs). IΓÇÖm experimenting with transmission line type balun transformers (4:1 and 9:1) for using very low loss 450 ohm laddar line on VHF and UHF. Also, IΓÇÖm fascinated with vertical co-linear type antennas which can be hung from the top of a nearby tree and fed with 300 ohm low-loss line. I have a 9-ft delta kite which I hope to use on HF to fly a long wire antenna out over the ocean on a sunny beach somewhere (no storms nearby). I am designing a geodesic dome to build at a campsite IΓÇÖve cleared on a knoll on my 35 acres of land. This will be a ΓÇ£get-awayΓÇ¥ which is far enough from the house that you canΓÇÖt hear someone shouting for you to come and answer the phone. I plan to trickle charge a storage battery for lights (and maybe a stereo and HT) from a nearby stream, and stock it with 3 or 4 good books (the dome-not the stream). etc. Lets see, ...what else. I enjoy 10-speed biking and I am a part-time radio engineer at WMDK, which has a transmitter on top of Pack Monadnock Mtn, so I actually get paid to climb up to the site to calibrate the Gates transmitter.
I use ΓÇ£MicroPhoneΓÇ¥ as a terminal emulator for the PK88. It seems to work quite nicely and I operate under multifinder so that I can have several applications open at once. I click over to the Packet ever so often to check on the flow and then back to what I was doing. Sometimes packet is too slow to just sit there in front of the MAC and read the mail.
Well John, those are the stats. ThereΓÇÖs more info there than youΓÇÖll probably want for your database so have at it with the cut and paste. Hope to run into you at Deerfield this spring and stop by sometime when youΓÇÖre over Peterborough way. 73ΓÇÖs. If you have a program that calculates beam headings I would sure appreciate that also. IΓÇÖd like to connect on packet sometimes......CUL, Dave.

Am interested in any ham related software for the MacIntosh.
Would like to find software that translates Keplarian data for satellite tracking. Is there any mac software equivalent to W0RLI?
It's been frustrating trying to locate MAC software for HAMS, especially since it is a far better system than PC. Have just begun looking into programming using Future Basic.
I enclosed two disks. The other one is for the TCP/IP you mentioned in another message. Sounds neat.
Looking forward to the return trip,

Being a 4th and 5th grade science teacher I am interested in getting my students interested in radio in all of its various aspects. It has been a slow process, especially since I am learning right along with them. If I could get in touch with people who are using radio as a teaching tool, it would be a great help to me.

I am using a Macintosh SE/030 as my computer with an HP Deskwriter as my printer. I have a 40 Mb internal drive and a 105 external drive along with a 40 Mb streaming tape.
I have a Tech license and wish to upgrade so that I can use the 80 and 160 m frequencies, but the code is seen as a "right of passage" and not particularly useful to me. I note in the QST article that there is a CW tutor available and I'll use it his summer to at least get to General class.
I have only had my ticket since January so I have not had a chance to do a lot of work in HAM radio, but I do enjoy going out to Public Service activities. I find that the original thrill of pushing the talk button has worn out a bit. I like to listen in to the conversation and supply hopefully significant information to discussions.
I am going to attend our local Field Days to not only meet some of the people that I just hear on the air and also to get a bit of "psych" for learning the code this summer.
I trust that this brief note meets your requirements. I am going to put two of my favorite Shareware programs on this discette.

Please reinstate me on to your MacNet system. Although several years have passed I communicated with you awhile back when you were first starting MacNet. I still have the QST April 1989 announcement in my notebook. Apparantely you have upgraded from KB1HE. I was working here at Penn State and you mentioned
that you were a graduate of PSU. I have joined the ranks of the Unemployed due to University downsizing in January.
My old 128K Mac bit the memory dust pile a few years back and I never found time (or money) to repurchase; and therefore have been Off-Line quite awhile. Just prior to termination at PSU I purchased a Mac IIsi with 13" monitor. So this puts me back on packet and in the mainstream of things. The TNC is a PacComm
HandiPacket with an ICOM 02AT. Software is Versaterm PRO. My antenna is my KODAK special. A BNC mounted in a 35mm film case lid with 2 19" dipoles taped to my bookcase. Slip the wires and lid into the case and were ready for camping.
For that I have a Toshiba 1000SE running Microsoft works. I bought this used back when I was waiting for Apple to come out with "something". This machine mostly collects dust, but it is a very nice portable packet system; second only to a Powerbook.
We're sorry that we don't have any Shareware to contribrute. What, may I ask, is the preferred packet software package? Versaterm is overkill in many ways and doesn't offer other ham preferred features.

John- I saw your packet echoed down this way (near Washington DC). I have a couple of Macs (512KE and a Plus), along with a MacCharlie unit (hardware that allows use of IBM software using the Plus). I also have a number of IBM-compatible systems, including the Atari palm-top- that thing is a trip! It makes it practical to take some 'computing power' with me, wherever I go. I am looking at using it with a packet setup in the near future.
Rigs here include TS-430S and an Argonaut on HF. Some assorted @M equipment and a 2M all-mode which is presently down for a power supply problem.
Will be relocating in early June to Norfolk area, so that will change.
I appreciate the copies of the PD stuff.

Comments: Uses Mac Kermit for speaking with the vanilla AX.25 MFJ-1274 TNC. Current projects: Getting KA9Q up on a Sun-2 at our Campus radio club (W3VC) figuring out why my TNC doesn't work at 9600 bps anymore (may be a bad contact on the DIP switch, 1200, 2400, and 4800 bps are OK.) thinking about porting KA9Q TCP/IP to a memory-expanded Apple ][ (or similarly bank-switched CP/M system).

John, nice to meet you and many thanks for starting the group. I have been an active and avid Mac user ever since they were manufactured! I'm using Versaterm and my ][ as a terminal (yes, I use it for other things as well!) I will send a diskette with the info but if you want to add me to the database quickly:

Thought you might be interested in seeing the path of the above... I've been interested in Macintoshes for about 6 years now, but only got on packet last month. I bought an MFJ-1278 and was pleasantly surprised to discover that it fits perfectly under my Mac Classic. I wonder if others are aware that the MFJ was designed with Mac packet users in mind? I've ordered the MFJ Mac software upgrade, which is due to begin shipping in about 6 weeks... I wonder what it will have that this Red Ryder 9.4 can't do...I've had a lot of satisfaction setting up the macro keys in this Red Ryder software... Scott Watson must have had hams in mind when he designed it.

The above get the most use on my Macs, lots of other software used occasionally.
As for interests, I'm fascinated with the possibilities I've been exploring with this Mac, MFJ-1278 and packet. I've always enjoyed CW, but since purchasing a Kenwood 922A last December, find myself on SSB more frequently.
I've made the trip to MacWorld in Boston twice, and once in Washington, DC. They cancelled the scheduled MacWorld DC this
year...word from MacWorld's East Coast marketing rep is that Apple decided not to have any meaningful presence, probably due to less than expected government response (read "purchases") after first MacWorld Expo DC 2 years ago. So the Hagerstown Mac maniacs are getting ready to rent a train car (OK, a few seats, at least) to attend the Boston MacWorld Expo this August 6-9.
My reason for going into this explanation is that I'm wondering if there's any way to find out whether other Mac Hams are going to Boston .. might be interesting to take my handheld and make some packet plans to get together during the Expo for lunch or some "eyeballs". (Packet BBS inquiry could be tricky, because message might be interpreted by some as promotion of a commercial trade show not related closely enough to ham interests.)
I was sure pleased to learn of the MacNet through your recent bulletin... I knew there had to be lots of us in ham radio with an interest in Macs, but didn't know just how or where to find you/them!
Look forward to hearing from you, and wonder if you work HF SSB?
73,
Bill

Its been quite some time since I have made contact with you and I thought it was high time that I renewed the connection. I should be listed as a member of MacNet already but a bunch of things have changed including the following:
I am now an Extra (ouch that @#*@ 20wpm code hurt bad!) Anyway I am now using a Powerbook 160 for all my ham digital work, using the KAM 6.0 with HM Mac. I work Pactor quite a bit on HF and really love it. I would love to try a MacBinary transfer sometime if it can be arranged with someone. I am using a TS 450sat, an R-7 antenna, a TM 431A and a Yaesu FT 530. I built the modem that was
featured in 73 magazine, a great way to do portable packet with the Powerbook!
I look forward to hearing from you although you are probably quite busy. I don't have any hot pd software to ship off but will hope to get a disk off to you to see who all is new on the MacNet roster. Take good care.
Oh - almost forgot. I also have a Canadian callsign VE3YTB we have a summer residence up in Thunder Bay Ontario region.

============================================
I hope this message gets to you its about the first I've tried having just
gotten my codeless Technician ticket. You probably have received the
disk I sent you with a Hypercard stack on it. I wanted to get this info to
you to add to the Mac Users stack or database.
Station info: MacIIfx, KAM TNC, Kenwood 731
Interests: Mac graphics, TIFF files, FAX, SSTV, Amiga graphics
Thanks for taking all the effort to help us out here in the sea of PCs.

I changed jobs last April and have the opportunity to use a Mac II in our office. My supervisor is also a Mac user and we talked a bit about the Mac. I must say that i am very impressed (as i used to down the Mac as proprietary) with the Mac and Apple. I dumped my Intel/DOS machine and purchased the Quadra and i am very happy with it and Apple. This really is what a computer was meant to be!

SOFTWARE USED: All available Mac application software. Ham Software includes MacMorse 1.3 and MorseMaster.
Has any one out there in packet-land ever used the Macintosh version of MFJ's pa
cket software? I just purchased an MFJ 1274C TNC and I am currently experimenti
ng with the Virtuoso packet software package for the Mac, but I am wondering if
the MFJ software is any better or worse than what I am using.
As an Apple Computer Systems Engineer and a new ham who is truly loving the hobby, I am always interested in ways I can combine both interests--logging software, tutoring software, ham-related BBSs, etc.
Any and all comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for answering my note. I am using a Mac SE, MFJ-1278, and a Yaesu 227R. I am not presently on HF, but plan to put up an HF station this fall. I am currently using Red Ryder 9.4. I would like to have a multi-connect split screen capability.
I also have the DX helper program, which needs a little work. If you think anyone is interested I could write some on this. Basicly, it does what it says, but its slow, and bombs sometimes. I doubt if it is multifinder compatable. It would be a great DA.

I was pleased to see your information on DIST-HAM here at the University of Arkansas. I am employed by the University as an Entomologist with research responsibilities involving forest insects and also teach Apiculture.
My bitnet address is GW27126 @ UAFSYSB.UARK.EDU
I am using a MAC II at work, but only have an IBM AT clone at home. I use the DRSI packet TNC in the AT clone. My home station consists of an ICOM 765 HF rig with 80 and 40 meter dipoles at 65 feet and a Telrex EM, 5 element beam at 65 feet. On VHF I use an ICOM 25A into an 11 element Cushcraft beam at 85 feet. My QTH is only 1/4 mile from the Oklahoma border in the Northwest corner of the state of Arkansas. My QTH is around 1200 feet above sea level.
I am a member of the Northwest Arkansas Amateur Radio Club with about 265 members. This is the largest Ham club in the state at the present time. Packet is strong and growing by leaps and bounds here. We use 145.01 as a keyboard frequency with high speed trunk lines on 440 and with the backbone BBS traffic running into Oklahoma, Missouri, and eastern Arkansas on 145.61.
My present Ham interests are with traffic handling on 2 state wide nets, RACES, packet, and DX chasing. The upcoming earthquake prediction on the New Madrid fault in eastern Arkansas has our ham community busy with emergency communication planning at this time.

It sounds like you have the makins of an interesting group of people. I am:
I use a Mac Plus with a 20 meg hard drive for numerous amateur radio functions. As the editor of the West Coast Amateur Radio Club's "Intermod" newsletter, I produce the club's 10 page newsletter each month. Am currently using the Quark XPress (v2.0) publication software for this.
Amateur radio articles are submitted to me via modem or through packet. The modem is a Practical Peripherals PM2400SA and am using the AEA PK-232 for packet. Have used the PK-232 for Amtor and Morse but 95% of usage is packet related. Am using Microsoft Works (v1.1) as the communications program for both modem and TNC operation.
Am using an Icom IC-02AT for VHF packet and a Ten Tec (model 544) for HF packet. Antennas consist of "small stuff" which I hide for the community's CC&R police force.
I am a retired computer analyst/supervisor from Bechtel Power Corp. Am always looking for information/software/solutions to make the Mac/Ham interface easier. In addition, I keep an eye open for general interest amateur radio articles for the Intermod newsletter.

Also use Macintosh SE (4/105), 2400 Zoom modem, etc. for office work at home, landline BBS'ing, etc. Have several amateur-radio Mac programs for propagation prediction and satellite work, although I have no immediate plans to get into satellites. Initially intended to use the Mac for packet but found that my original Apple //c (can you believe it was purchased in 1984?!?) works very nicely on packet and allows me to keep the Mac in a different room where it is available for the rest of the family. Eventually I will use the Mac for packet.

I found your packet bulletin of interest because I also use my Mac in Amateur Radio. For packet, code learning and HyperCard projects related to radio.
I would like to be added to your mailing list and know about any software or services you offer. Below is a list of my equipment and BBS., etc.
Equipment:
1. Mac SE (68000 at 16MHz with 4 megs of RAM)
2. 80 meg hard drive
3. KAM
4. Red Ryder
5. Kenwood TM 201A
6. HyGain V2S vertical (covers most of Los Angeles basin on 5 watts)
Home BBS:
Home BBS: N6YN on 145.050 (Westchester, CA, near LAX airport)
Interestes:
HyperCard development for amateur radio
Public service and emergency communications
Computer graphics: repeater maps
Questions:
Want to know sources of any Ham Mac software
What PD Mac Ham software you have access to, love to get copies.
On my supplied disk is a HyperCard stack that I call "Intro to Ham Radio." Please feel free to examine it and distribute it any way you like. There are two versions, Standard and the much smaller, BBS version (it lacks two bulky sound resources). Please stay in touch as I will be making newer versions as time goes along. I would be interested in any comments.
Be advised that I am using the Morse XCMD in my stack now, (also included on this disc), I have found a possible problem, bug?, the XCMD does seem to have some problem with the newest Apple system, 6.04, or the high end machines. The XCMD seems to lock up the computer when used, this can happen at the beginning of the open stack operation. I am trying to reach Erny Tontelinger, LX1YX in Luxembourg via the LX0PAC BBS. Hopefully I will be able to get an updated XCMD from him. The stack seems to work fine on all systems below 6.04.
I am still somewhat new to packet. At this time I spend most of my packet time on the N6YN BBS reading bulletins or downloading files... nothing fancy yet. But am eager to learn more. Thanks for the help, sounds like a great idea for a group.
I will be very interested to see what software you can send me.
Sincerely,
Bruce Nolte, N6TFS

I am curently a general working to upgrade to advanced. I am active on vhf packet daily and with the help of some overtime will be able to afford to finish my HF packet station soon. I use a Azden PCS-4000 backed up by a mirage b-23 amp and a ringo ranger II at 70 ft. I am very interested in antenna building and just about any kind of projects. I currently use a Macintosh SE with 45 meg hard drive and on 1.4k floppy with 2.5 meg of ram. I have the Apple/Macintosh Image writer II also. I am waiting to hear from you eagerly, as I am very curious about Macintosh software for application to Ham radio use. Thanks and 73's.

nothing exciting here. eye use a mac plus with mac ratt with a kenwood tm-731 when eye check in my bbs--n6yn via radio. but, most of the time, eye use the landline port--a modem--and microsoft works--to read and post messages to the board. packet radio is fun but too slow at 1200 baud. for yr files:
sry, donΓÇÖt have any shareware. all ham stuff eye purchased, like dx helper, mac samuel, fd log, etc. gud luck yr project.

I currently run packet on 2m with a IC-2AT with power booster to 15 watts. I use a Kenwood TS-520SE for HF.I only have one TNC at present, an MFJ-1274 with mailbox and weatherfax. I have three computers: a COCO, and Apple IIE, and a Mac Classic. At this time, I have not used the Mac for packet except at my dad's station. I am not sure what software he has - he has at least two versions that I know of.I was a strickly 2m ham until packet - now I am working on upgrade to general so I can have more bands available. Thanks for sharing these things with hams like me. 73's!

I have a Mac Plus computer and I use Red Ryder as a terminal program for packet. I have an AEA PKT-1 tnc and I use my Kenwood TS-700S 2M all mode rig. I am on 2M SSB, have a 300W home brew amp. I am also on 6M SSB (Swan 250C rig, 100W key-down). My HF rig is a Yaesu FT-101B, into a home brew antenna tuner and an 80M inverted V. I have a Technician class license and am working on upgrading, CW is up to 10 WPM now. I have also done a little work on the RS-10 satelite and am very interested in a satellite tracking program. Rotor Automation for satellite work also sound very interesting.
I have sent out several bulletins to find some ham software with little response, glad to hear I'm not the only out there.
I have enclosed a couple of cw programs that I have used. looking forward to hearing from you.

Am using for packet an ICOM 228H 2m rig, running a homebrew copper-J antenna on the roof.
My interests are still mainly 2m even though I've been a ham 5 or 6 years. I like 2m because it fulfills my needs (communications on the road between home and college), and I can hit an autopatch easily in an emergency.
I have fiddled around with antennas a bit, built three, each an improvement over the one before.
As far as computers, I've been into them for many years. Now I'm running a Mac IIsi with 5meg on board and 80meg HD.
Last year I discovered the power of the modem, and got onto internet through a friend's BBS, and read the newsgroups religiously.
I use the Mac now mainly for school work and fun.
Well, that's about all I can think of. I want to thank you for your service. On the posting, there was no mention of you charging a fee, but if there is, I'll be glad to pay.
I have included return postage and labels so you don't have the bother of that.
Thanks again, Jim Hill.</text>

Own a Mac Plus with std 1 Meg. 40M hard drive, and
an Applewriter I. I teach Technology Ed at a middle school. We've got Mac
SE's and LC's here.
We're on packet with a KAM unit tying an Alinco DR112 to a HP Vectra (which is like an XT). We're running Lan-link as the packet software, and have tried to use Picpro to read satellite photos with no success. We have a Kenwood TS-180S for HF work. Both the HF and VHF antennas are verticals. Because I'm still only a Tech, we're only on 10 M on HF. By the end of the summer, I plan to be upgraded. This should round out our file. 73's again.

RADIO USED: Kenwood TS850,Mizuho(s),Kenwood TS-50S,Tokyo HyPower HT-750, Icom 3230H, SP-1 Spider (a kit by Lectrokit), other QRP kits
COMMENTS: This could be a good idea. So much software is for DOS. It is difficult to find Mac stuff. It seems that there is more than meets the eye.
QUESTIONS:
One of the most difficult things I have with Macs and ham radio gear is the cables. It might be useful to begin to build a stack of all the cable connections that people have found to work with packet, Macs, and rigs to other "stuff".
PASSIONS:
Well, now! Guess I can't print them all. I like QRP and kit building. I am not smart enough to build my own creations. I have tried some bicycle moble, not too successfully. I like to assemble little traveling radio set-ups. For example, a Mizuho, a Quantum battery and a dipole. I like to take something like that on trips. I am working on something to take to Europe next summer. Perhaps the Kenwood TS-850S. </text>

Finally some information about other Hams that are using the Macintosh. Please include me in your list of Hams that are using the Mac. I have a Mac SE with a 20 Meg hard drive. It can use the 1.4 Meg floppies and have 2 Meg of ram.
I received my Tech+ License about a year ago and have been working on 2 meters and 440 cm. I also have a 10 - 80 meter transceiver that I am working with. I am active in the Clark County Amateur Radio Club and have participated in several activities of the club. I am interested in setting up a packet station by the end of the summer and hope to upgrade to General as soon as I can learn the code.
With respect to the packet station, I would like to know if the AEA PK-232MBX with the MacRATT with FAX program is a good combination to use with the Mac? I am interested in both HF and 2 meter packet and down loading weather information. I am also interested in logging programs for the Mac. I have thought about writing a Hypercard program but would rather see what is available first (no reason to reinvent the wheel).
I hope to hear from you soon and I will send you a message as soon as I get my packed station up and running.
Thanks for your help

I PRESENTLY ACCESS PACKET THROUGH A ZOOM FAX MODEM TIED TO THE MAC AND USE A PHONE LINE TO GET TO KC7Y BBS LOCATED IN MESA ARIZONA. IT SURE HELPS UNTIL I CAN GET THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT TO LINK VIA 2 METERS. HAVING BEEN OUT OF WORK FOR A YEAR AND A HALF, I HAD TO LIMIT THE EQUIPMENT EXPENDUTURES FOR THINGS NOT RELATED TO FINDING A JOB. NOW I AM WORKING (2 WEEKS) AND THE CHECK BOOK IS STARTING TO GET WELL AGAIN. ANY SUGGESTIONS AS TO PACKET EQUIPMENT FOR USE WITH MY PET MAC WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A COPY OF YOUR MACNET ROSTER. IN FEBRUARY, 1993, I BECAME A HAM AND HAVE A KENWOOD TM741A TRANSCEIVER. IT IS A TRIBAND MACHINE AND I OPERATE ON TWO METERS, 220 AND 440. OVER A ONE MONTH PERIOD, I HAVE BEEN RAISING AN ANTENNA IN AN OAK TREE NEXT TO THE HOUSE. IT IS NOW 60 FEET ABOVE THE GROUND, AND I HAVE SIX MORE FEET TO GO. (SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS SLOW ME DOWN.) SO FAR, I HAVE GOTTEN GOOD RESPONSE FOR CLARITY FROM OTHER HAMS. AS FAR AWAY AS 60 MILES, ON 220.
I WANT TO USE PACKET RADIO, BUT IN THE CINCINNATI AREA, MOST PACKET IS ibm. MY RADIO CLUB IS OHKYIN, AND WE OPERATE A PACKET BBS ON 145.01 AND 144.95. IT IS CALLED K8SCH BBS.
THE MAIN REASON I WANT TO USE PACKET IS TO SHARE SOME IDEAS WITH OTHERS, SUCH AS A STUDY GROUP I HELPED FORM ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO. THERE ARE SIMILAR GROUPS LIKE US IN ABOUT FOUR OTHER MIDWESTERN CITIES. PERHAPS WE WILL BE ABLE TO FORM A NET SOME DAY.
I SHARE A MACINTOSH SE/30 WITH SEVERAL CHILDREN AND THEIR FRIENDS. SON, BILLY, HAS DISCOVERED CONCERTWARE (A MUSIC NOTATION PROGRAM) AND IS BUSY USING TWO KEYBOARDS (ONE BELONGING TO HIS BROTHER PAUL) TO "MAKE MUSIC". WE HAVE SIX SPEAKERS HOOKED TO THE MAC, SO WE CAN MAKE A LOT OF SOUND. IN OUR COMPUTER ROOM, WE ALSO HAVE A TYPEWRITER, AN IMAGEWRITER II, AN AM-FM STEREORECEIVER, A CD PLAYER, A DOUBLE CASSETTE DECK, AND A SHORTWAVE RECEIVER.
ON JUNE 10TH I WILL BE IN COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO FOR THE THIRD ANNUAL MEETING OF THE INTERNATIONAL THOMAS MERTON SOCIETY. I WILL SHOOT ABOUT 8 ROLLS OF FILM. WHEN I GET HOME I WILL HAVE IT DEVELOPED AND WILL SHARE THE PRINTS WITH ABOUT 15 PERSONS. IN MY BASEMENT, I HAVE A DARKROOM WITH AN ENLARGER SO I MAY ALSO BLOWUP SOME OF THE NEGATIVES

I just read your message about Mac users on HAM radio. I've been using my Mac on Ham radio since 1985. I'm a certified Macintosh developer and have conducted many experiments on HAM radio via the MAC. I don't currently have a disk mailer so I thought I would send some mail in the interim.
My personal system is a MAC SE with 68020 Radius Accelerator, 4 meg ram andan extended keyboard. For disk space I use two drives. One is a Rodime 140 meg Plus and the 2nd is a Storage Dimensions 100 meg. I use a CMS tape drive for backup. I use a handfull of HAM radio programs written for the MAC and Kantronics KAM Wefax (which is just okay). I attended the Dayton Hamfest and didn't find too much for the MAC. I did, however, visit a booth by the QSO Software people. They are specialist in software for the MAC and IBM by WB3B. They demonstrated an a very nice program for the MAC that controls Kenwood transceivers. The units supported are as follows:
TS-140
TS-440
TS-450
TS-811
TS-711
TS-850
TS-940
AND THE TS-950.
They offer other programs as well. When I get a chance I'll send you a
SASE disk mailer and 800k disk. I would like to hear from you in the mean
time.

Yes! Sign me up. I would like to join Macnet. Sounds like the perfect place to
learn what other Mac folks are up to. I sense we are a dying breed, but so
what. Packet really appeals to me from standpoint of doing long distance with
low investment. Nothing but good experience so far, the BBS which I signed
onto is pretty active and the SYSOP has been really helpful.
I just started out in radio in April when I passed the codeless tech test. Hope to
go farther but my first objective is to get packeting and chase foreign DX if
I can. You see, I've got two friends who will be going on a two year 'Round
the world bike trip' this coming spring. If possible, I'm hoping to stay somewhat in contact with them as they pedal. I think this will be fun, challenging, and
rewarding! Got the station on the air around beginning of August. Bought
several books on packet and have struggled through them but need practice and experience to make sense of it all.
Well obviously I've got a Mac and am having quite the neat time watching all the
messages on the different windows flash by. The set up is a SE/30 with Radius
secondary monitor. This dual screen thing is nice! I usually leave the Mac
screen set up to display 'Monitor/Unproto' to check out the overall traffic
situation. The host session (BBS for now, conversational or conference maybe later when I learn how) is then shown on the full page remote monitor.
Like I said, lots of fun! I'm also using the Kantronics Hostmaster software (which I like, but I am also not familiar with what else is out there), a KPC-3, and
a mobile 2M (Kenwood TM-241A). I probably could've gone at less cost on the
computer end packet necessities, but since the used radio wound up being a
good deal, I decided to spend a little more on the TNC and software (which
looked to be guaranteed compatible with sys 7) & get on the air as quickly as
possible with minimum hassles. I think it all was worth it and am on the air for
less $ than I targeted for when I got interested in all this (such a bargain!).
When friends look at the station, the computer hardware by far out
encompasses the radio gear which surprises them. To offset this, maybe
someday I'll get into HF and buy more equipment to balance out the hardware
distribution but for right now its perfect. Plus with the mobile I can put it in
the car anytime and just go! (Now if I can only convince my wife that I need a laptop, then I could go mobile packet.....). Went with an unobtrusive vertical
antenna on the roof so as not to get the neighbors in an uproar.
The current set up allows for a good balance of packeteering or chit chat on
the local nets when I feel like it. A good way to meet more people and friends.
This is all so new & I've many questions. Here's one particular recent packet
message I sent out querying for a Morse trainer for the Mac (my first step
towards a General License maybe). If you know of any 'stuff' please let me
know. Maybe by the time you get this disc you'll have seen it on WB1DSW.
I also put in a copy of the packet message which made me aware of Macnet and
hope it is useful to you.

Got the info for the MACNET from Pete WK9K located in Milwaukee WI. He suggested I send you a disk with a little inf about myself and you would respond with some Ham info for the MAC.
Have been in Ham radio since the late forties (W9RYV) but got discouraged about eight years ago and even forgot to renew my ticket. About a year ago I saw Packet- WOW went right out and got my General - but had to start at the bottom of the ladder again - my how things have changed. New call is N9ICV and the address is 1001 River Court - Manitowoc, WI - 54220 for most of the year. We also have a place on Cape Cod that is used in the summer and sometimes during the rest of the year. Have driven thru Manchester many times while on trips, if I remeber its a long town with the highway running along the river.
I have been using a MAC for many years but not in connection with Ham radio. At the present I have an SE with two floppies and a Cirrus 60M HD external. I also have an SE with a 20 M HD and IW-2 on the Cape and just hoped IΓÇÖd only have to take the 60 M along with the HT and the TNC. I have a Yaesu 411-2M HT and a MFJ 1278 TNC. I obtained a Yaesu 101Z from a friend who never got his ticket but the lower bands donΓÇÖt interest me at this time - maybe IΓÇÖm wrong and should fire it up sometime.
For software IΓÇÖm using MS Works 2. I didnΓÇÖt like the MFJ software and am looking for something simple and better. Pete suggested AEA Mac Ratt, Versa Term and White Knight - IΓÇÖm really not familiar with any of them. Do you have any suggestions? When one owns and runs a MAC ΓÇöHeΓÇÖs by HIMSELF. Lets hope this contact changes that.
Have you had any experience or know of anyone that has used an Inverter 12 VDC-110 AC to use a MAC for emergency portable work. With the two floppies I could put a mini system on one and a terminal program on the other - that way I wouldnΓÇÖt have to bounce a HD around and also less power requirement.
I was- still am in the General construction business but my sons are starting to take over so IΓÇÖm getting some free time to play a little, Hamming, a little fishing, do a little canoeing and then hop on my little motor bike and take a short tour to the coffee shop. Well I guess thats all for now.

I saw your msg. on my home BBS and thought I should Check it out .
I am just learning about computers and radios so it is good to run into a group that knows about both . I have been on packet now for about 4 months now and I have really been enjoying it. I have been using AX-25 but want to get familiar with TCP / IP. I am running a MAC PLUS with 4 megs of ram and system 7 software.
Currently I am running my packet through a terminal program
(white knight) and it works but probably not nearly as good as a
packet program would. I am interested in obtaining the latest or
best packet and TCP / IP software I can find , would also be interested in any other neat software for logging , sat tracking , etc. if available I would espesially like a copy of a morse code program .
Radios here at the shack include 2 Yaesu FT-470ΓÇÖs and an Alinco DR-600, antennas - 5 element beam at 40 ft. (2 meters) and an ASA. 9.2 db. vertical (also 2 meters) at 35 ft. and a 70 cm. dipole at 24 ft. .
Hope to hear back from you soon.
PS- I donΓÇÖt have much to offer in terms of public domain software
but I included a copy of Lightning Paint, and some games. </text>

Macintosh is a Performa 405. Radio is a Kenwood 241A, and the software is "Hostmaster Mac," as well as "Wefax Works." The Home PBBS is the Kantronics Packet Communicator 3. Main interests are computers and software, especially Macintosh stuff. Others are ham radio (no kidding) ice hockey, writing, and anything high tech. I am a tech-plus, have had my license for over a year. I just recently got into packet and wanted to try TCP/IP for awhile, so this is great. I have included freeware programs "PwrSwitcher,"and"Open-Wide,"(post-card-ware) on this disk. They seem to be the only few "free," programs I have that would fit into the public domain software that others maybe interested in. I was going to include "Calculator II," but then I read that even though it's free it can't be distributed. I"m not sure I understand that. If you know why and know how to get around it with no problem I'll send it out. It is much more powerful then the Apple Calculator. I do have others such as "Super Clock," and "Disinfectant 3.3," but I thought you probably would have them. If you don't let me know and I will send them out. I also have a bunch of shareware programs, which if you want a list or just sent to you let me know.
Thanks again,
Eric N9RPA

Finally! I found a group of enlightened hams. Log me in as an ex-IBM user that saw the light about 2 years ago. Other than MacRatt, I don't have any Mac software for hamming yet, but am working on a serial control program for the Ten Tec Paragon. I use an accelerated Mac Plus at home and a Mac II ci at work. Please send me what you have. As soon as I get the OK from Apple (to copy their Hypercard Serial Control Module), I will forward my Hypercard Paragon Controller.
As far as radio gear, I run the Paragon, PK-232, and the Mac Plus. I have a Cushcraft R7 vertical, and an 80 meter loop. I also run QRP frequently with my Argonaut 509 or Heath HW-8. Major interests include Amtor, CW, and QRP on HF, and VHF Packet.
Please forward the Mac public domain software that was indicated on the packet BBS system. Thanks!
Sincerely,
Gary Grove

I copied your messages off the N0ARY BBS in Sunnyvale, CA. It is an Internet gateway that I use for my Packet traffic. I'm interested in your TCP/IP software and your HyperCard Macnet Roster and anything else you may have for the Mac. I use a PowerBook 180 and do some packet work with it
via SoftPC DOS emulator and my DOS packet software. It works OK but not as well as I'd like.
Is any of the software you listed available via FTP or Email?
Thanks, - Ken, NL7WD

My station consists of an Icom 751A HF rig, and an Icom 229H 2-m FM rig.
The TNC is a PK-232, the computer is a Mac Plus with 2.5 meg ram and a 20 meg hard drive (pretty old, and am planning to upgrade it soon), running MacRatt. I have plenty of logging programs, Theory programs for all levels, CW practice programs etc.
I am very interested in satelite work, and am desperately looking for satelite tracking programs. I am also wondering if there is any software available to work the pacsats with the Mac. I am also VERY interested in being able to recieve and decode Weather Satelites, on 137 Mhz, and was wondering if there is anything written for the Mac for that.
I have also been looking for Grayline software, and antenna modeling software, and propagation prediction software. If you don't have any of that, could you direct me to some commercial software?
I aslo do alot of the digital modes, and am very happy with my MacRatt software.
My Dad (was KI7HX, is now AA7ZG) got on Mac net a while back, and may have put my name on, I don't know but I thought I'd do it my self and tell U my interests. Thank you very much, and I hope you can provide me with some good software, or atleast direct me to where I can get some.

I'm finally getting around to formally registering with MACNET. I'am very familiar with your organization as a number of hams on the South Shore of Boston are registered and I heard you speak at the BCS Amateur Radio SIG in March 1990. Here is the information you require:
Computer Equipment (at home): Macintosh Classic 4mb/40 meg HD with an ImageWriter II printer, Hayes 2400 BPS modem. Until two months ago I used a Apple IIc which I now keep as a backup.
Computer Equipment (at work): Macintosh IISi 5mb/80 meg HD, 13" RGB high resolution monitor and the Nubus adapter. I'am using the Apple 8-24 color card.
Software in use: AEA MacRATT; White Knight and ZTerm for phone modem, and the usual software for WP and spreadsheet applications.
Amateur Radio Interests: I operate mainly the digital modes... on HF that is RTTY and AMTOR and packet on VHF. Chasing digital DX is what I enjoy the most with one or two contests (phone and digital) thrown in for excitement. I keep a number of skeds each week with many old friends.
Projects: My current interest is creating a HyperCard stack that will control the TS-940S and will do logging functions. My fondest hope is that K1EA will convert his outstanding MS-DOS contesting program--CT to the Macintosh.
John, we have a very active Macintosh/Ham Radio group that meets for breakfast each Saturday in Marshfield MA. If you ever find yourself in the area around 7:30AM some Saturday please give a call on 145.25Mhz. On any given Saturday we have two dozen guys attending the breakfast.

Macintosh 512KE, converted with Dove card to Mac Plus; 30 Mb HD; 2Mb RAM
1 internal/1 external 800k floppy; 1200 baud Apple modem; Kensington System
Saver fan unit; ImageWriter printer.
Software:
I use AEA's MacRatt software for the '232. It is a fine product, and I highly recommend it.
I routinely use MacDraw II, Microsoft Excel and Word.
I use the PK-232 as a primary TNC, and use the MFJ box as a backup, or dedicate it to the DXcluster with a dumb terminal.
My main interests are HF/CW and digital modes. SSB on HF annoys me. I enjoy designing and building electronics projects, and antennas. I like contesting and transmitter hunting.
I am a Mac user for the last 3 years. I am stuck with MS/DOS machines at work and every day I appreciate the Mc ac even more. I am probably a pain in the butt because of my complaining about the MS/DOS machines at work.
I am really glad to find you folks, and appreciate the service. I do not have any programs to offer, but as I get into this more, I will share what I find, or what I create.
I have an Electrical Engineering Degree, and work as a project manager for Ericsson Network Systems, a telecommunications company.
Best Regards, and I look forward to receiving some programs.

I need to know how to wire the DIN plug, coming from the KAM into the MAC. I had packet running with a C -128 for years, I got the MAC 6 months ago. Are there any Weather Fax programs around for the MAC?
Thanks for the opportunity to know some MAC/hams. Maybe we can communicate via packet someday. I would be glad to share / trade MAC goodies.

COMMENT - MacRatt has a few faults, one of which is that is will not print out to a laser printer...to get around this, copy data to teach text file and print - not elegant, but it works, or to a wp program for finer formatting.
MacRatt so far runs ok in 32 bit addressing, but some crashes occur, and does not seem to run well with AfterDark screen saver for me. Does anyone know if there is an upgrade to this program in the works, especially to run the new PacTOR chip which is rumoured to be iminent?
TNX John for your help - just put the Hypercard stack, the TCP/IP software (whatever that is! An explanation would be appreciated!) and the HAM TEST programs and Morse program would also be appreciated. I have DX Helper 1.56, but it crashes under 32-bit addressing - is there, and do you have, a later version you could send? I would appreciate ANYTHING in the way of public domain stuff you could send, as I am new to amateur radio and have nothing in that line other than what is mentioned above. I am the only ham in this area that I know of running Packet on Mac! I am sending 4 disks so that you can fill them up for me...!
Thank you once again - I look forward to receiving the disks back.

One of my friends recently gave me a copy of your message on packet. I am not yet equipped for packet communications. I recently bought a Macintosh SE computer and I am wondering which TNC is better suited for my needs as I would like to buy an all mode (CW, RTTY, Amtor, Fax) TNC for HF and VHF. On HF, I am using a Kenwood TS-520 and on VHF a Yaesu FT-230R. In the Quebec area we have a digipeater (VE2 RAJ) on Mont Belair and a local club BBS (VE2GEP).
Could you send me informations on good programs/software for packet? I am very interested in joining the Macnet. Included is a 800 K formatted disk for any information you would have and $2.00 for postage costs involved.
I would appreciate a prompt reply.

"National Capital Macintosh Club" approx. 400 members, 8 S.I.G.'s plus general meeting monthly. Comments/Questions: 1. Surely there must be a more Mac like piece of telecomm. software than Mock terminal! Who is using what? I'd like to see split screen receive & type ahead send, split screen multiconnects etc. I'd be pleased to hear from more sophisticated users. 2. What's a good reference on moving programs to & fro landline BBS's? As a new modem operator I don't as yet know my X-modems from my Kermits! 3. I'm very pleased to see the creation of Macnet. I'll be pleased to contribute in any way that I can! 73's John >>

I'm fairly new to packet but a old hand at the Mac, I've had a Mac since they first came out starting with the original 128k and now working with a Mac Plus. My next step may be just that (NEXT) depending on cost and if I can get my hands on one at all. If not I think I'll skip the MacSE and go to a MacII. After I win the lottery,write a best selling novel, earth shattering computer program etc.
At present I'm using the Mac and Red Ryder 10.3 which is I think the best com program going for every purpose around. The radio at present is a Kenwood Tr-2500 and a Kamtronics all mode TNC. I also have a ICOM 740 but I must admit since I found packet it doesn't get much use. Might get rid of it and get a proper base station or something I can use on satellites.
Interests are Television as I'm a technician for on the stations here, music hope to MIDI my keyboard, trying to write that earth shattering program. "C" seems to be the language of choice for now though Forth and Pascal work pretty well on the Mac. Packet radio of course and amateur radio in general. You can find me on Compuserve 72436,76 and Genie R. MACKENZIE1.
Stats are as follows:
P.S. John, just added this before I send it off. Please find enclosed a I.R.C for return postage for the mailer. It was my intent to just stick on the amount to get the mailer to you figuring that it should work if you sent it to me. NO WAY, Canada Post said mail from the states has to have U.S postage affixed to it. So since they don't sell U.S. stamps this is supposed to be the next best thing (sure it is). Anyway it would have cost me 64 cents to get it to you so I hope this covers it.
So much for free trade.
73, Bob

Thank you for taking time in my interests in Packet Radio. I read your Packet message that you sent to Barry (W2UP) concerning Macnet. The Macnet club sounds very interesting and a great start into the world of Packet Radio.
In the next few weeks I will be going for my novice licence mainly for packet radio operation. I have been interested in packet radio and digital communications for some time now. I intend to go into the field of digital communications and other various communication methods. For example, the installation of digital repeaters and bulletin board setups.

I am also curious to know from yourself or any other Macnet members know if it is possible to network several Macs together with ethernet, and use Net/Mac to interface the Macs so that Net/Mac can be used on all machines, while only having the radio port on one machine. If it is possible, what modifications need to be made to the autoexec.net file? 73's de David VK3DAT

I got a bundle of software from WA1LOU and your "invite" was amounst it. I would really like to get onto your net as I am somewhat alone down here surrounded by unimaginitive IBM clone users (sorry)... I am aware of 2 other Mac users in Australia and about 5 in New Zealand.
I realise that everybody else's remoteness from my QTH may cause problems but I'd like to get involved with software sharing and perhaps act as a feeder for hams down this way! I work as a Mac guru and write real-world Mac applications or a living so I should be able to contribute to your group.

8000 Mac files downloadable! Return of the ECAN BBS!
The BBS operated by the East Coast Apple Net has returned with many new features. Now operating with the new Second Sight 3.0 BBS softtware it has loads of new operating features. It understands all the compressions schemes so effective operation up to 57.6 kbs is possible if the two modems can negotiate it.
Also new is the AMUG BBS in a Box CD-ROM. Now at version IX (we were at version II) there are more than 8,000 Macintosh files available for downloading.
Of course we also have public and private bulletin boards and a demo area where you can download software sent to ECAN for its members to try out. You can upload files to the bbs as well. Z-modem transfer is now supported!
The bbs is now running on a beta test schedule and has no defined hours. It should be available most of the time between 8pm and 8am weekdays and most hours on weekends. Limiting factor is availability of hardware which is shared with other tasks.
System is running on a Mac IIci using Global Village Teleport/Gold 9600 baud modem. The modem understands V.42bis and MNP compression so let your modem negotiate the best setting. I have
had success everytime using 19,200 bps setting from external computer. Standard 8-N-1 protocol is used.
Telephone number is 617-545-2190. Voice number is 617-545-2696 if you're having trouble or would like the bbs up at a special time. You can also fax me at 617-545-3464 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There is no charge for using the bbs other than your particular
telephone charges.
To get complete use of downloading you *must* send me a validation request message (easy to do... the menu leads you through it). I will instantly set your credentials for full bbs use. Meanwhile you
can use the public and private bulletin board areas on your first connection.
Have fun and give me feedback. Remember, it is only in beta test right now. (Control-C generally gets you out of any hangup or mistake)

My main interest is in DXing ,contesting/logging &gray line &MUF predictions. Also just getting started on packet--maybe you can suggest what discs would be helpful. attended your talk at MITRE a few months ago, thanks much. I understand you might have some info on domestic callbook QTH information on either packet or CD. Is this info available on packet and if so how to acess? We've got a SE MAC just getting started in this computer hamming. Been heavily into DXing over the years.
Radios we have are old DRAKE line for the HF bands
Thanks very much 73 W1UN

Like to work 2 meter packet. Hope to be running TCP/IP on packet soon.
Have used Stuffit to unpack software downloaded from large collection of software at Stanford University in California. One program that I especially liked was a shareware program for building a genealogical data base using hypercard. I have included an hqx version of this stack broken into four files and an unpacked version ready to run. I deleted all of the cards from the ready to run version except my card which should be used as a starting point. Click on help to find out how.
I have been unable to find much good amateur radio software for the Mac. Somebody should write a good contest logging program using hypercard.

My computers are a powerbook 100 and a Mac II. I did build the $35.00 tnc for the mac in QST a few months ago and use tcp/ip protocol with it.
I am interested in just abiout everything that has to do with ham radio amd electronics. Packet, RTTY, etc. Mostly it is contesting that i am NOT intersted in.
I have enclosed a few stacks that control my Kenwood ts940 and TS 711. They will not do much without the computer interface but with it they are very powerful.

Mac System 1: The main system is a Mac II with 5 MB RAM, Rodime 140 MB hard drive, Apple color monitor, extended keyboard, and Apple 1200 baud modem. Other equipment on this system includes a Laserwriter II-SC.
Mac System 2: SE-HD-20, 1 MB RAM, two 800 K floppys, regular keyboard and Imagewriter II.
Mac System 3: An original 128K model with home installed 512K RAM but still with the old 400K drive and original ROMS. Anyone into antiques? Used as a terminal for packet radio.
Mac System 4: Another 128K similar to the above. This one is use as a terminal with an EPROM programmer in my shop.
Software here includes Word 4.0, Excel 1.5, File 2.0, Chart, Macwrite 5.0, Paint, Superpaint, Draw II, Lightspeed Pascal 2.0, Quickbasic, older BASIC interpreter and compiler (anyone need it?), Microphone, Solitaire Royale etc. I also have an accounting package called Plains and Simple.
There is other stuff but perhaps this is enough.
I use Satellite Pro by W7HR for satellite tracking. I have (and sell) a very nice linear circuit analysis program (for ee's) which was written by one of my students as a Master's thesis project.
I usually use Microphone for packet but I have a couple of other terminal-packet programs. One called Macket which I hope to upgrade soon - it will be distributed by AEA. The other one is called Macpacket by Brincomm Technology. I haven't heard from the author in a long time. Anyone know if he is still updating the program?
I am interested in microprocessor development. I currently have a cross assembler etc. developed at Univ of Texas for 68HC11. It is public domain. Does anyone have any other public domain cross assemblers? Especially interested in the 8031.
I am developing (probably for sale) a satellite rotor control board. It will work with the Yaesu G5400 dual rotor control box and will run from the Mac (or any other) serial port. The aforementioned Satellite Pro software will also be compatible as hopefully will several IBM PC packages like Quicktrak. The idea is to have a better product than any on the market now and to have a drastically lower price. Inquiries accepted.
HF Radio: Kenwood TS940, Drake L-7. Antennas: Hygain 204BA at 90 Ft and Duo-band trap antenna for 10/15 at 80 ft.
VHF Radio: Yaesu 736-R for satellite. Antennas: KLM 14-C, 18-C, DownEast dual loop yagis for 1.2 GHz. Various preamps, power amps etc. Yaesu 227, Kenwood 221, Yaesu FT209.
Modems: AEA PK-232, Tono Theta 777 (cw and rtty), and Apple 1200 baud landline.
That's all folks!

Wow! I was grateful to see that somebody really did care about
Macs and Ham Radio.
Mac SE/30 with 5 Meg RAM, both 40 and 105 Meg hard drives (yes,
the power supply supports it fine). This machine is in mybasement, and is the one principally used for packet and electronic design.
Mac IIcx with 5 Meg RAM and 240 Meg hard drives, standard
Apple/Trinitron color monitor with standard "VGA" drive card with
additional VRAM.
Printers include an Imagewriter LQ (know anybody who's got a spare sheet feeder for it? I'm looking for one...), and an NEC Silentwriter 2 model 90. The NEC has blacker blacks than the HP series laser printers because it uses a better print engine - a Minolta - than either HP or Apple, but the darned replacement cartridges are $200 because you can only get them from Minolta!
All four gadgets are Appletalked using Fallon's PhoneNet hardware
and RJ-11 cables. There's never been any compatibility problems
with the non-Apple laser printer or the cheapernet hardware.
I've included on this disk a demo of DragonWave, which I haven't
seen advertised lately. Brad Nedrud, the author, visited me when I
worked for NBS and gave me the copy. It was a full working copy in
1988 or so. This is a VERY powerful RF/Microwave design program,
and in 1988 was a capable competitor to SuperStar and somewhat
similar in capabilities to EEsof's Touchstone/RF, albeit a smaller
library. The full program cost about $1200 in those days, but I don't see it advertised any more. I think the author now works for one of the companies that used to be his competitor on the PC. Please be warned that DragonWave was written on a 128k Mac with no hard drive before even System 6 was available. It may not do what you expect under system 7, although I have not encountered any problems. But, again, I haven't created any particularly nasty circuits!
I am looking for schematic capture, antenna design (mini-NEC style) and PC layout software for the Mac., plus a packet package as discussed below.
Radios used:
Packet: FT-227 memorizer by Yaesu, MFJ-1270B, HK-232 under
construction.
HF: Icom IC-735 for 160 - 10, with SB-220 for occasional pileups
Also Kenwood TS-660 quadbander to cover 6m with 10 watts
Backup HF is Drake B-line
Software: I'm using the MFJ intro program MFJTerm and would like
to upgrade desperately. If you know of a program with more
sophistication, that could display multiple QSOs in multiple windows, I'd like to know. Also, MFJ Term, at least the version I have of it, is System 7 hostile. If you switch to another program, MFJ Term quits operating - you lose whatever may have come in while it was "shelved". I have a copy of White Knight, but it's a generic terminal program and doesn't have any specific packet features, but at least it's System 7 compatible.
I'm an RF engineer by profession. I design relatively large amplifiers in the HF through VHF range up to 100 kilowatts for scientific, medical and research customers. I'd be glad to answer any RF related questions that Macnet members have, if you think that'd be a valuable service...

Hi John. Thanks for replying to my plea for MAC contesting help.My station set-up is as follows: HF TS940S, AL 80A, A3S at 45 Feet. VHF Ken 201B for packet with a KAM. Currently I am not useing the MAC for packet, I use a dumb terminal (VT-101). Since I do alot of work at home , I keep the SE-30 in my home office, and move it into the shack for contests. I have had real good luck with the ZCo. contest programs from KE1Z.
As soon as I can get another SE30 from work I will keep it in the shack and just use it for Ham applications, packet, logging, contests etc.
Please add me to the MACNET. I can be reached at the above telephone numbers or on the YCCC cluster.

OTHER MAC CONNECTIONS: CompuServe 70645,247 COMMENTS/QUESTIONS: Since so many members asked about the existence of split-screen, multi-connect packet radio software for the Mac, I have included a review of Macket on this disk (the review was published earlier this year in "Gateway: The ARRL Packet-Radio Newsletter"). For the MacNet public domain software library, I have sent the Macintosh version of KA9Q's TCP/IP software package. Also, I have sent Project Mac software that was collected after the last disk distribution of Project (the project was conducted in the On Line column of "QST" last year). By the way, there is a nice satellite-tracking program in the original Project Mac collection (is it contained on disk 1 of the MacNet public domain collection?) for those members who were looking for such software. There is also a commercial satellite-tracking program called MacTrak that was described in the On Line column of the August 1988 issue of "QST." Enclosed is my monetary contribution for the newsletter.

I am using a Mac SE with a 40 Meg Hard Disk, 4 Megs of RAM, an E-Systems 2-page display, and a Kodak/Diconix printer, and a PK232. All this is new here, so I am just getting set up. For packet I am using MacRATT software to a Santec handheld for 2 meters or a TS930 for HFing. I am also using Q-Log to keep the books. Radio-wise I'm mostly interested in 6 meters, HF cw (no computers, please!), weak signal VHF/UHF work (everybody says I have a weak signal), and homebrewing. Mac-wise I'm a confirmed addict since my introduction 7 months ago, and I'm collecting games, graphics, and whatever kind of neat Mac stuff I can find.</text>

Thanks a lot for your quick reply to my packet message. I'm a 43 year old father of one 8 month old son. I've been a ham since Jr. High.
Equipment here is a Mac+, KAM tnc, CMS 60 meg hd, Kenwood TR-7800 on the VHF port, Yaesu FRG-7 general coverage rcvr on the hf port, and am currently running Red Rider 9.4.
I want to update to White Knight software and am looking for a hf tranciever and maybe a Radio Shack model 100 or 102 for portable/mobile.
I am very interested in the Pacsat program and have had fun monitoring the DOVE satellite today.
I would love to see a terminal program specific for the Mac and my KAM for easy all mode operation with lots of use of function keys, etc.
73,
George

Came across your messages on America Online and would like to have all the Mac info i can get! There seems to be an abundance of software for the IBM and clones but very little for the Mac.
Here is the info you requested:
I use my middle name (Lyman) as a handle when haming.
Home PBBs: I use America Online, (LymanJ1). We have a Macintosh user club-Texarkana Apple Byters - with an electronic bulletin board that uses Telefinder software.
Radios: The rigs are an old Ten Tec Triton IV xcvr and a Kenwood TR 9000 all mode vhf xcvr. The antenna farm consist of a homebrewed 60 ft. telescoping tower that supports a homebrewed two element tri-bander delta loop antenna for 10, 15, and 20 meter band. Use broadband inverted V's for 40 and 80 mtrs. Just got a PACKRATT model PK-232MBX TNC and have not learned how to use it yet!
It is going to take me a while as the manuals are lousy.
Mac: Macintosh SE with 4 megs ram and a CMS 46.6 meg internal hard drive. Am considering getting the xyl a SI for xmas even tho she dosen't share my enthusiasm for computers!
Software: Have MacRATT for the TNC and the programs downloaded from America Online Ham Library. I have 23 - 800K disks of PD/Shareware pgms that I have downloaded from our local BB's HD! Mostly Inits, Utilities that I play with. I am including a HyperCard stack with an index of these pgms. Also a disk cataloger "Q Cat 1.0.1 that catalogs the dist into a file that the HyCd stack will import and put into the card file.If you see some pgms you would like to try, let me know which ones (or all of them) you would like and I will send them to you.
Interest: Computers, Ham Radio, Wood Working, and spoiling four grandchildren.
I am a retired Hydro Electric Power Plant Supt. for the U.S. Corps of Engineers. Will be 70 years young in November.
Thanks John.

I am not using a Mac, but a LISA 2, ;running as a Mac Plus, with Sun "MacWorks Plus" program. I have 2 meg memory, 800k floppy and 20 meg HD. My rigs are 2 meter Icom 727 and old Tempo VHF One Plus, also a Yaesu 736 for 435MHz and 144MHz satellite. My HF rig is Drake TR-7 w/linear L75 and KLM34A beam, plus dipoles for WARC and 40m.
I spend five years with Sinclair computers from the ZX-81 thru Spectrum/2068 and the Sinclair QL, which I use on HF packet with an MFJ 1278. I want to move the LISA there perhaps. I also have an AT clone, which can use the nifty Satellite programs in that format..AMSAT Instantrack, Quiktrack, and GrafTrak II. Also the UK-Amsat SATSCAN. I just ran into N6ONZ, Garry in Santa Rosa, CA on packet, with a plea...has anyone ever heard of a LISA?? I got him converted from LISA OFFICE SYSTEM to MacPlus but he has 400K floppy so took some doing to make it fit enough to get it on his hard drive..which had to be scrubbed.. I call this a Sexchange from 450 miles away..LISA to Mac! I have no ham software, except the enclosed MFJTerm.

I would like to join MACNET. Here is some information about myself and my Packet station. I am relatively new to packet radio, although I have had a Technician License since 1977.
PHONE: 315-735-9713
COMMENTS: I am using an old MAC 512e with RedRyder 10.3. The TNC is
an AEA PK232 MBX, and I am using a 2m Azden PCS-2000
transceiver with an Astron RS-10A power supply. I use 5 watts
into a 5/8 Gnd plane Hy-Gain antenna to reach the local
node UTICA:N2GFN on 145.05 MHz. I also use a Heathkit HW-8
QRP CW rig on HF, although infrequently! I need to upgrade
my MAC, my code speed and license, and my HF rig!
I am an Electronic Engineer at GE Aerospace in Utica, NY.
I have been spoiled by using MAC IIs and IIxs and SEs at
work. (Work phone 315-793-5267)
I began packet operation in June 1990.
I can be reached also on GEnie as C.CASTELLANO, on
Compuserve as 74066.3240, and on PAN as COSMO.C
I do have access to Internet, but am restricted to
business only.
I am looking forward to MACNET, and I am curious on how to
use it. I haven't really explored much about Packet at this
stage.
Do you have a copy of HyperDA that will run on an older 512K
computer? I cannot use HyperCard on my machine.
My 512K Mac has been upgraded once for the new ROMS and
double sided internal drive, but my external drive is still
single sided! I am contemplating either a Newbridge
memory card and SCSI port, or just buying a new computer.
Somehow I have to get to at least the 1MB memory capacity.

My computer is a Mac Plus with 1-Meg of memory and a 3.5" built in floppy disk drive. I have an outside CMS 30Meg Hard Drive.I use a PK-232MBX Packratt as an interface and it is connected to an Azden-4000 2-m transceiver for vhf packet and RTTY and also to TS440S Kenwood transceiver for hf packet and other modes. I am using the Macratt/Fax terminal program from AEA.
My main interest at present is vhf and hf packet and rtty. I also work vhf and uhf fm, hf ssb(from 80 through 10 meters) and I am soon putting up additional antennas to work 2-m and 430-440 ssb. I am also look forward to doing some satellite work in the near future.
When you return this disk, I plan to order several of the 9 disks listed in your library.
In addition to the Macratt terminal program i mentioned, I presently have the following application software:
(1)Quicken(accounting);
(2)MacWrite 5.01;
(3)Vantage(word processor);
(4)Desk Paint & Desk Draw 2.0;
(5)MacTrak DX Helper 1.4;
(6)MacNet & MacBM 1.0(Phil Karn, KA9Q;
(7)QuickLetter(word processor).
If you know of any voice or hf digital freqencies where I might find other Mac operators, I would appreciate your passing that along to me.
I surely appreciate your assistance and I will be happy to share any of my software(if public domain) to you or any other member of Macnet.

Hello to all other MacIntosh hams. I use a Mac Plus which has been upgraded to 2 megs of internal RAM. The TNC is a PK-232 I use Microsoft Works for my terminal program, but would like to get into something a bit more suited for packet radio, (such as split screen, multiple windows, etc.)
My station sonsists of an ICOM 761 for HF and an ICOM 02AT 2 meter handheld for VHF. I would like to get a used 2 meter mobile radio to replace the 02AT.
My major MacIntosh interests are MUSIC and MIDI (I am a professional musician and I use "PERFORMER" software by Mark of the Unicorn to sequence (sync) my 10 synthesisers and drum machines for recording purposes. Other uses of the Mac for me would be editing our ham club's newsletter, THE INTERMOD (a publication of the WEST COAST AMATEUR RADIO CLUB). I use QUARK XPRESS page layout
software for the entire 8 page letter each month. It will handle all the usual Mac-type functions as well as TIFF graphics. All of the logos and art-work are scanned at 300 d.p.i. before the whole thing is printed on a Laser-Writer 2.
I also use an old Apple IIe clone called a FRANKLIN ACE 1000 for packet. When the MacIntosh is busy in the recording studio (which is a good portion of the time), I use the Franklin. For this, I use ASCII EXPRESS software. I look forward to hearing from all of you. Peter (WD6DVT @ WB6YMH-

I am a self-employed Electronics Engineeer, operating Moon Valley Circuits, which designs & manufactures process control equipment, also an analog/digital consulting practice.
I help sponsor a radio club at the Dunbar elementary and Altimira middle schools, and assist the Valley of the Moon ARC with their Novice classes and RACES.
I am active a little on HF, VHF FM, packet etc. as time permits.
I also enjoy hiking, camping, biking, canoeing, sailing, etc., rock music, and exotic physics.
I use my Macs for both buisiness and ham radio.
I program in Forth and Assembly to use the Mac as a control terminal for a network of embedded process control units. I have brought up the old Nautilus (CP/M) Forth metacompiler on the Mac under CSI's MacForth, and use it to cross-compile ROMS for the 68HC11 and 6803 embedded processors.
I have used the Mac as a packet terminal using White Knight and Red Ryder, to drill my kids for their technician tests, for CW practice, etc. I have written an experimental RTTY terminal program also.
I would like to try WEFAX if I can find a suitable program.
I use these models:

The local BBS (WA8BXN) provided the info regarding the Macintosh users' group. Yes, I do use a Macintosh, and am very interested in becoming affiliated with the group. Here's the rundown of my current station hardware:
Kenwood TS-930S DenTron MT-2000A
Heathkit SB-220 AEA PK-232
Various computers All homebrew antennas
I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in Electrical Engineering at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. I am also a partner and director of engineering in a small company called PGM Diversified Industries, Inc. We manufacture industrial computer and measurement products, especially for the automotive industry.
In addition to being Macintosh users, we are an Apple Certified Developer for the Macintosh family. As a Certified Developer, I get all the tech notes and briefs on the Mac family direct from Apple. Some of my Macintosh products have included electrical power transmission and distribution control software and industrial data collection/management software. We are currently working on a new (and unfortunately currently secret) piece of Macintosh hardware that will knock the socks off a lot of Mac users (especially the desktop publishing guys).
Obviously, I have access to many Macs, but my current "knockabout" machine at home is a Macintosh IIx, with 8Mb, 80Mb internal SCSI, B&W HighRes 4 bit video and A/UX when I need it. I also have an old 512kb non-enhanced Mac that I am especially interested in adapting to dedicated ham applications.
My main interests in ham radio are DXing and contesting, both from home and from the club station at CWRU, W8EDU. My preferred modes are CW and RTTY/AMTOR, although I do dabble in 2 meter FM and packet. I also enjoy a good ragchew on CW or AMTOR, especially about Macintosh issues!
My only current ham related Mac project is a DXCC record keeping system in HyperCard. The stack is completely set up and easily extended, however it is very time consuming to enter all the DXCC countries into the thing. Once they are all loaded, fine tuning and dressing up the stack will not require re-entering any of the data. It's taking me longer than expected to type the countries into the stack (I'm only up to about J), but I hope to have it finished by the end of the summer. Once completed, I plan to sell the stack for a very reasonable price to help encourage use of the Mac in ham radio. As a Certified Developer, I have access to the complete Apple retail network and promotion program to help get the stack noticed and moving. Apple is currently dying to push stackware, for any application. (If someone were familiar with HyperCard and interested in helping type the countries into the stack, it would be worth AT LEAST a free copy of the finished product.)
That's about the story from here, John. Here's how to reach me:
AppleLink:D2899
I look forward to hearing from you and becoming a member of the Macintosh ham group.
73 and DX,
Jim, WB8WTS.

It doesnΓÇÖt quite do all I would like but works for now until I can devise something better. I would be interested in finding something that would calculate beam headings and probably there are many other items too if I were to sit and think about this for a while.

Ham intrests: 10-10 am certificate manager for Texas Longhorn Chapter. Also am getting interested in satellites.
At present am using Macket on a mac+ with 2.5 MEG ram. 2M is a Kenwood tr-7800 and a PK-232. HF Ten-Tec Triton IV. Haven't tried HF packet yet. Don't think rig is stable enough.
Would like copy of morse program with Farnsworth spacing if you have one. I downloaded the Hypercard one from AOL but it doesn't work (just gives a steady tone)
Thanks for the help.

2 Mac+'s and 120MB of HD using Red Ryder. Working on a stack to control everything. Just recently got a MFJ-1278 TNC and is learning about packet. Working on a program to use the Mac to digitally filter the signal coming in to eleminate QRM and pull those really weak stations. After finishing that will be writing the code to emulate a TNC and decode all the modes (CW, RTTY, WX, FAX, etc).

Main interest is packett radio at the moment. I would like to know if there is a good tnc control program for the mac. Getting tired of using my mac like a dos machine ! (Dont print that! Hi Hi) Any other ham software would be nice also. I am also looking for program that will keep track of the time that a given file is open. My wife operates a home day care and we also do alot of church work and I would like to keep a log of how much time we use the computer for those activites. I have tried TIME LOGGER 2.11 , and wonder if there is anything easier and better? Thanks for the service John! Please feel free to edit any portion of this doc. I tend to write like I think!

My activities and interests include emergency communications, packet and DX. I would like to learn more about satellite communications, amateur TV and TCP/IP. I also have written a few feature articles about amateur radio in the Hawaiian Islands (see Worldradio June 93, April 93 and August 92). I am currently returning to CA to obtain my teaching credential and hope to teach physical science (and amateur radio) in the near future.
I saw the Strays article in the June 1993 QST. Good luck and hope to hear from you soon.</text>

I guess I should have used the proper intro to correspond with my call sign. I got my license while stationed in Pearl Harbor, and haven't changed it. It certianly does get peoples attention!
I am running:
Mac Powerbook 140 w/40 meg HD and 4 meg RAM System 7.0.1
Mac SE w/20 meg HD and 1 meg RAM System 6.0.4 (looking for cheap RAM upgrade)
AEA PK-232MBX with 1990 Firmware
Realistic HTX-202 HT
Ramsey PA-10 2M Power Amp w/ 30 watts out
Archer Discone Antenna
Kenwood TS-930S (receive only, no power out, no service manual)
I currently am using the following software:
MacRatt 2.0 (I've heard there is a newer version)
PACRATT II (using SoftPC)
NET/Mac 2.3.14
IM/Mac 1.0b26p
Virtuoso 1.4
OrbiTrack 2.1b14
I constructed the Packet Mac Modem described in the October issue of "73" magazine. I have been monkeying around with SoftKISS and with NET/Mac but haven't really been too impressed... probably because I don't know what I'm doing!
I am a pretty dedicated Mac user, and am slowly getting into programming outside of the Hypercard 2.1 environment. Hypercard is an excellent method of getting basic tasks done, but I am looking to write standalone software that is a bit quicker than Hypercard.
I am also an electronics experimenter of about 15 years and have been looking for a program to allow me to input schematics and do simulations on it and maybe give me a printed circuit foil pattern. I received DesignWorks 3.0 demo but the total cost of the system is about $10,000! No Thanks!
I am presently on vacation from the Merchant Marine, and have had plenty of time to play around with my Ham gear. While in the Navy I was in charge of the MARS station aboard the USS Whipple (ex FF-1062), I have recently applied for my own MARS callsign and have the call NNN0REM.
That's it in a nutshell. Thanks for your info. Mele Kalikimaka (Merry Christmas).
Boyd.

My interests are in software for CW operation using the Mac. (eg, Sending Code, Contest logging, Code Practice for teaching potential hams, etc.) I'd be very interested in a Hypercard stacks similar to NU1N's SSB Contesting System but for CW. Also, my interest are in software for using the Mac for Packet.

I now have a HyperCard stack that I wrote that does full control of the ICOM radios, I have an IC-765. This will work with most of the ICOM radios. This also includes full automatic QSO logging.
I am also using MacRATT from AEA, and absolutely love this program!!!
Another project that my brother (KB2ICI) and I are working on is to
do an INEXPENSIVE SSTV receiver for the Macintosh.. We hope to have this
running by next spring's DAYTON HamFest... This will do gray scale dithering on standard Macs, and full color and grayscale on the Mac II's, or SE/30 with external monitor.

I have been involved with Macintoshes since they first came out in 1984. I support Macs at work, and I also run a Macintosh Users Group.
My interests are Networking on a LARGE scale, and also am VERY interested in HIGH SPEED PACKET (56K baud). I also hope to get AppleTalk to run over the air waves.
I have been involved with Ham radio all of my life since both of my parents are Hams. I have been interested in Packet for about 5 years, but only got active recently.
Any one can call me at either of the above two numbers if they are interested in talking to me.

I have a Mac IICX,40 Meg internal hard disk, 8 Meg RAM, Apple 13" Color Monitor and a 175 Meg GCC External Hard Disk. I also have a Mac 512K (the original "Fat Mac" - 64K ROMS not 512Ke) which I have dedicated to the local Packet Cluster using SmartComm II.)
My HF rig is Kenwood TS-440S for HF and an Icom IC2AT vor 2 Meters and packet. Use PK-232 for TNC. On 220 Mhz I run a PK-88 and a kenwood TM-321A for the local Packet Cluster network.
I have been selling Macs professionally to the corporate market since 1984, and have found it to be the perfect solution for all my hamming needs except SSTV ( no software ) . I even run several popular MS DOS programs for ham radio when I must.

My comments/questions: As the Boston Amateur Radio Club, Boston, MA, Software Librarian (via Public Domain progs on Internet via my Northeastern University Internet accounts), I would like to acquire as many Public Domain Ham-related Macintosh programs as possible, since 99.8% of software available on Internet is for MS-DOS compatible systems.
With the author's permission of the programs I'd acquire, I'd then place them on the Boston Amateur Radio Club's FTP area on the World Public Access Dial-in Unix Internet system in Brookline, MA.
This would make the Macintosh programs available on Internet, and make MANY people happy.
I could also place the programs on various PBBS systems with DOS access.
73,
Scott
