Hi Folks!
See a lot of good response for tomorrow evening. It will be busy and
productive with lots of activity on several fronts proceeding in a
collaborative environment! I think we are all going to learn a lot!
Thanks for your enthusiastic response. I will be on the 442 repeater and
146.52 simplex with an HT if anyone needs talk-in.
Thanks & 73,
Gordon Beattie, W2TTT

As a general fyi--
As per discussions had Friday night, I setup the irc server on my raspberry
pi, i decided to make sure that some problems were avoided by providing some
built in instructions.
When logging in to the irc server a list of channels I setup and info on
further setup will show up(including how to set your call sign into the
system).
As channels are added it is easy to append that information
I have been running tests for longevity, as well as trying to verify ports.
The pi doesnt care what it's ip is for the server and it is set with a
static ip/ port forwarding from my mesh router.
