     I logon to the NS2B BBS in Penfield, New York. It offers both RF and Telnet   
   access...plus it hosts "The PCL Net" every Monday at 7pm Central, 8pm Eastern   
   Time. During the weeks of Easter, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day,   
   Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's...it does not meet on those Mondays.   
      
     Years ago, on the now former N0KFQ BBS in Branson, Missouri (the Sysop and   
   his wife have both passed away), where The PCL Net originated, was what I   
   call "The E.D. Net".    
      
     Both of those files are at the hyperlink off of my QRZ bio...look for the    
   file names "The PCL Net" and "The E.D. Net", respectively.   
      
    LJS> For the ISS I started playing around with UISS which helps manage the   
    LJS> very tight constraints of a pass. But I've also been able to decode   
    LJS> packets on just my HT's build in APRS functionality. I also managed to   
    LJS> use an Android app called APRS droid along with a cheap Yaesu HT! Even   
    LJS> managed to reach the station with the rubber duck!   
      
     At one time, I had that app on my smartphone, but since I mainly stay at   
   home (being homebound due to dry corneas, which would blur my vision without   
   warning, where it became too dangerous to drive anymore), I saw no need for    
   it. With the D-Rats application, I use the GPS-A script to note my location    
   for aprs.fi -- but you may have to search for my callsign separately.
