Good going, Virgil in Sun City there in the shadow of KC4QCN FPAC on 144.91.

Propagation across the peninsula was excellent this morning.  I worked
Virgil's PBBS KG4FCD-1 direct from my QTH at 0635 and also through the
DeLand FPAC (144.91) which has somewhat better antenna elevation!

Of course that long propagation is not what we look for in developing the
Layered Packet Network, and it will certainly disappear as the sun rises.
However, it does show that Virgil has his equipment working!

Now.. I need to know the switch / digi my calls at the Tampa Bay site on
144.91 listed as "KC5QCN-9/TPA".  Most of our switches on this side have the
digicall as -8 and the switch call as -9.  On the heard list at Deland is
KC4QCN-9 - I tried using KC4QCN-8 as digi from DeLand FPAC and could not
raise KG4FCD-1.
