[InHam] Fw: [Inares] Packet Workshop, Saturday, FEB 19, Lafayette

[Paul Webster]

Hi All, 
I really want to attend this meeting & take notes & am looking for some1 who is willing to come thru Merrillville & pick me up.
I am not bringing any hardware of my own, but am willing to help haul your gear in, help set it up, brake it down, & haul it back out to the vehicle. 
I have a powersupply, antennas, & an FT-470 to loan some1 for the event, as long as I can make it there my self.  
I will also gladly pop for fuel. 
Thanks & happy DX, QSOs, & QSLing.

      A packet workshop will be held in Lafayette on Saturday, FEB 19, 9:00 a.m. -

12:00 p.m., sponsored by Tippecanoe County ARES.  The workshop is open to all

amateurs.  We will start with a quick configuration of a Kantronics KPC-3 TNC,

then focus on setting up and using Outpost (www.outpostpm.org).



Registration is required for this workshop.  There is no fee, but we must be

expecting you.  The registration deadline is at noon on Wednesday, FEB 16.  For

more information and to register, visit:

www.w9tca.com/packet-workshop



Attendees are encouraged to bring their laptop (Windows 98 SE or later), TNC

(with manual), and connecting cables.  You may also bring your radio and

antenna/dummy load, if you like, as we will have a working PBBS/node/digi on the

air at the training facility.  Access to 110V AC will be provided, but you may

want to bring an extension cord/power strip, and a 12V DC power supply or

battery for your TNC/radio, if you have it.



The recommended TNC is the Kantronics KPC-3/KPC-3+, which has become pretty much

the packet standard in amateur radio.  Other models/brands of TNCs will also do,

as will AGWPE, if you have it already configured and working with Outpost.  A

list of TNCs known to work well with Outpost can be found here:

If you plan to attend, be sure to arrive early to connect and set up your

equipment, as the workshop will start promptly at 9:00 a.m.  Workshop location,

more details, and registration at:
