Packet paths


To:  ARES, RACES, NTS Packet Operators in Southwest and West Michigan

Re:  QMN Packet Network

Gentlemen:

Here are some paths to various facilities around lower Michigan via the QMN
VHF Packet Network.  Please feel free to try these, but keep in mind that
this network is intended primarily for public service communications.
Therefore, please don't use it for extended casual "keyboard to keyboard"
communications.  However, it is desireable for operators to be familiar with
the network structure, so feel free to experiment and use it.

To State EOC:  C WC8EOC via QMN-13, K8CHR

To QMN Primary BBS in Downtown Detroit: C W8IHX-1 via QMN-13, K8CHR, WPXD

To QMN BBS at Washtenaw Chapter Red  Cross:  C W8IHX-3 via QMN-13, K8CHR,
WPXD *

To QMN BBS at Milan, Michigan:  C W8IHX-5 via QMN-13, K8CHR, WPXD

To Kalamazoo Red Cross (State Lead Chapter):  C W8VY-1 via QMN-13

To Genesee County High Profile digipeater:  C W8IHX-10 via QMN-13, K8CHR,
QMN-10

To Clinton County ARES/QMN BBS:  C W8IHX-13 via QMN-13, K8CHR

To QMN HF PACTOR gateway:  C W8IHX-8 via QMN-13

    *  This is also an HF PACTOR gateway on 3636.0 khz
    ** One may also connect to "K8QMN-15" as a KA-Node and thence to desired
facility.  Utilize this in place of QMN-13.

Some reminders about the network:

1.  Because of the excellent "long path" abilities of the network, beacons
on individual stations are discouraged.  Please leave beacons to the high
profile digipeaters and official facilities such as EOCs.

2.  Stations are encouraged to post NWS traffic (rain gauge reports and so
forth) to W8IHX-3 at Ann Arbor or W8IHX-8 at Allegan.  Please contact wb8siw
for information on how to participate in the statewide rain guage network.
This is an excellent way to use the network and practice official message
handling!

Thanks, and enjoy!
