Welcome at the experimental Pactor<->Packet-Radio-GateWay DA5UDI !

For all of you, who are new at this gateway, here a short introduction:

This station is located in Kruft (JO30QJ), a small village near Koblenz,
about 60km south of Cologne, 10 km west of the river Rhine.

The GateWay is connected via a 19200 Bd wirelink to the packet radio 
digipeater DB0LJ. APRS users will find DB0LJ on the map or at www.findu.com
on the internet.

The digipeater DB0LJ is part of the German packet radio network. It has
highspeed RF-links via DB0QT and DB0ZDF in Mainz to the south of Germany 
and to Switzerland, via DB0QT-DB0WST near Cologne to the north, a link 
via DB0RPL nr Koblenz to the north and west and via LX0IST to Luxembourg,
Belgium, France and the Netherlands.

You will reach the digipeater with the command "C DB0LJ" from this GateWay.

DB0LJ is running Xnet on 2 TNC4E.
It has direct wired links 
- to the BBS DB0LJ-8, you simply reach it with the comamnd "M"

The next real BBS to this GateWay is DB0LJ-8, it is connected via 
a 19k2 wire-link.

often, please read the advice in the file "Using BBS DB0LJ-8".

This BBS offers you some special things like an email-gateway or the
possibility to enter short messages to APRS or the German amateur radio
