      Hello Alan!

   I run the SJVBBS (San Joaquin Valley BBS) located at 7575 feet abpve sea level   
   on 145.090 and 441.500 (1200 bps). The site is about 7200 feet above the local   
   area (the aforementioned valley). We are using Ubiquiti microwave radio links   
   in the 5 ghz amateur band for links to the home QTH, about 37 miles. We have   
   backup links, also using Ubiquiti radios. but these make a stop off at another   
   repeater site.   
      
   The SJVBBS call sign is W6RAY-4 on RF and W6RAY-3 on NETROM. I currently have   
   only two forwarding partners; one here in California, and another in south   
   Texas, all via Internet, the latter via AMPRnet (AMateur Packet Radio net), or   
   44Net.

   SJVBBS is, of course, available locally via RF, but also via the Internet, or   
   more precisely, AMPRnet. I don't know how many messages I have online, but   
   they go back years. As I mentioned earlier, I have two forwarding partners,   
   but I am always looking for more.   
      
      
    AB> Software is BPQ.   
      
   I am running JNOS (www.langelaar.net/jnos2) on Linux with two KPC3+ TNCs.   
   There is one keyboard node (BLACK:W6SLO-6) across the valley near San Luis   
   Obispo where through which some of the local users there connect.   
      
    AB> I check it every day or so.   
      
   That is the goal, but doesn't always work out that way. I also run an online   
   Synchronet BBS, so, along with work, limits my time.  Not to mention the local   
   radio club.

   I use Outpost Packet Message Manager (outpostpm.org) to connect via telnet or   
   RF to send and receive messages. I can also use SSH to connect to the server   
   and telnet in "locally." (Can't use SSH over RF, encryption.)
