Logging into the Branson Net - Mondays at 7p
Hey Gang,
Scott, KD5NJR, here with a quick ditty on how to connect to the roundtable / net / whatever on Monday Evenings at 7pm in Branson. Once you're in the MOBRA PCL (CHAT) server, the commands remember, /? , are just like on AE5ME's CHAT server. But getting connected over to Branson takes a couple extra steps I'll go over.
Numero Uno, you need to connect to Jeff. If you're nearby, fine, give your TNC the c ae5me-15 command.
Now, if you're a little ways away and you can't connect reliably to Jeff direct, you can use the KW5M-7 or AE5ME-7 nodes (Oneta or Broken Arrow respectively). Tell your TNC c kw5m-7 or c ae5me-7 and when you get the node's command prompt, hop to Jeff's server with c ae5me-15 . Now, instead of giving the CHAT or BBS command, we're going to do this one.
c 2 MOBRA
which will connect you to the node in Branson (through the Internet)
and once you see that you're connected to MOBRA, you give the PCL command to enter their chat room.
You'll see Connie and KO and the gang chatting away.
do a /users to see who's in.
do a /? to remember how to disconnect.
give your TNC the status command to see if you're really disconnected from everyone.
Have fun,
Ask questions.
Scott

145.01 MHz: Monday Night Packet Net @ 7pm / AE5ME-15 BPQ CHAT
Tulsa Digital Radio Club invites all amateurs to participate in the Monday Night Packet Net at 7p prior to the BAARC Monday Night Net.
You'll want to connect your packet station to AE5ME-15 (Jeff's house). Use the AE5ME-7 node (on the Hill) or the KW5M-7 node in Oneta if need be.
Once your connected to AE5ME-15, you can give the command
CHAT
to enter the chat room where the net will take place. You may be prompted for your name and location.
If you make a mistake or hit ENTER by accident, no worries, there are commands to fix that.
You get a list of active users and start seeing some chatter at 7pm or shortly after.
To make a comment, just type and hit ENTER. I hit ENTER every 40 characters or so. Think of a manual typewriter (no word wrap or auto line feed ;)
There isn't really a CONVERSE mode and a COMMAND mode in the chat room. Everything you type is considered comments for the net except that you preface commands to the CHAT server with a slash like this: /
/q Broken Arrow, OK EM26
... to fix your location.
/n Scott
... to fix your name
/?
... to get help
/t
... time-date stamp
/u
... to see if you are alone
/quit
... to go home (disconnect and return to TNC command prompt)
Feel free to join in the fun or practice logging in and out of the server during an "off peak" time. Maybe you'll me in there. Say Hello."
Next Up: We chat with some DX stations. 73 Scott

area (Broken Arrow / Oneta) nodes
There are atleast a couple good nodes in the Broken Arrow area.
If you find that you can't get a good connection to a given station, try using a node.
For example, maybe KD5NJR can't hit AE5QL directly. But he can do a
c ae5me-7
and once he is connected to Jeff's node (at Chapel on the Hill) Scott could do a
c ae5ql-1
to get connected to Mike per usual.
Nodes are a more efficient method of hopping along from one ham station to another to get to a station beyond your line of sight. Not too much unlike using the digipeater function built into TNCs. However, the nodes use a streamlined handshaking process, so node-hopping works better than digipeating if you are going to need more than a couple hops to get to your destination.
Out in Oneta, Wayne has made the KW5M-7 node available. Both nodes can accept multiple simultaneous users. Use the one you hear the best and takes you where you want to go. When connected to a node, try the command
n l
to see a table of other nodes you could hop to next, or
to see stations heard by the node you're presently connected to, try
j l
Next up : speaking of destinations, we have an interesting "server" available to us (ae5me-15) in the Broken Arrow area, that provides BBS and CHAT applications. More in this to follow !
