[Dxbase] VHF Packet Users?

[sumracer at aol.com]

Neal -



I use both a VHF connection and an Internet connection because the Internet connection is not reliable and often will shut down when I am not there. When I return a few hours later, instead of a listing of the DX that I might work is a long list of "Keep Alive Message Sent" with no responses.



One item that should be addressed is automatic reconnection to an Internet connection that has failed for whatever reason. 



Thank you for asking.



73,

Paul

I just wanted to get an indication from you about your usage of VHF for
packet clusters. I know that almost every sysop I know (myself included)
have shut down their VHF ports a long time ago but there are some still
offering the service.

The reason I was asking was that I was considering moving towards allowing 2
internet DXCluster connections instead of 1 VHF and 1 Internet. How does
this affect your operation?
