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
