The recent article in QST about PACTOR, and the Airmail program caught my
eye. And my ISP filed for Chapter 11, so there is a real chance I might lose
my email, so seemed like the time was right to have a go at this.

With encouragement from my friend Bob N9ZZ I started looking for a TNC that
would do PACTOR. What I found was a AEA PK-232MBX, for $65.

It was ruff going at 1st but now I can connect to one of the PACTOR WL2K
stations about 90% of the time with my K2, running 5 watts.

The system is not perfect, but like I said I'm able to use it so I wont
complain too much!
