`Reflections
`1994 was a good year in many ways for T APR. The Board set eight
`goals for 1994, which were: 1) continue to watch spending closely, 2)
`continue to work on increasing membership, 3) work on getting Special
`Interest Groups active, 4) get closure on current projects, 5) finish work
`on kit revamps in progress, 6) develop more T APR involvement in national
`perspectives, 7) develop more T APR publications, and 8) finalize T APR' s
`short and long tenn goals. The first seven goals were achieved with some
`success. I'll touch on each in a second. The eighth is an ongoing task and
`we will continue this activity in the future.
`The financial statement for November has us in the black and it looks
`like it will stay that way through December. This will make a second year
`of positive operations. The Special Interest Groups that were started in
`March '94 have grown from two groups to six by the end of the same year.
`On.the kit front, the DSP-93 reached closure and began making both T APR
`and AMSAT money, the TUC-52 project is nearin~ping, and the
`PSK kit, TNC-2 bare board, and DevMeter kit were discontinued. TAPR
`started to get more involved in national issues and will continue to work
`more on this area as opportunities appear for our input. In the area of

`
`The Upcoming Year
`TAPR still has a lot more to continue to work on in
`1995. The annual meeting looks like it will be a great
`ev~nt and I look forward to seeing everyone in St.
`Louis in March. The TAPR e lection sees foUI
`excellent candidates running this year and whoever is
`elected should bring excellent energy to the board for
`the next three years. Last y~ar we saw over 50%
`response from the membership. I hope we can get that
`good a response this year in voting. As for
`membership, I would like to see TAPR set a new
`membership goal of 5,000 members by 1997. This
`would be another doubling of the membership, which
`I believe can be accomplished. The set of goals I will
`be proposing to the TAPR board in March will
`include: I) continue to be ever watchful or. expenses,
`2) continue to work on increasing membership, 3)
`continue to develop TAPR involvement in national
`persp~ctives. 4) continue to look at ways of providing
`more operational cai: abilities for digital operators, and
`5) work on making T APR a more rounded national
`organization. One of the keys to TAPR's success in
`the lon g- term future is buildi11g good working
`re lationships with the various regional and di gital
`interest groups. This will allow both TAPR and the
`regional groups involved to become stronger by
`working together on educational and research issues.
`
`On the "don't forget" list, we have the ar.nual
`meeting in March followed byTAPR' s packetac.:tivity
`at Dayton. Dayton is going to see a few changes this
`year (read further in the PSR). Don·t forget to send in
`your ballot for the election when yo~ get it. Your vote
`counts. Don ' t forget, we still need help in auswering

`
`As a result of very constructive feedback from the
`T APR on-line SIGs, the proposal has been revised so
`that the local and regional identifiers are included in
`supplemental tables, rather than in the body of the
`proposal itself. This way, the master document may
`stay intact with little or no revision over a Jong period
`of time. The regional (Table 3) and area (Table 4)
`identifiers may be updated quite frequently without
`the need to consult the original authors. This also
`places the responsibility for local addresses within the
`hands of the folks creating those particular address
`elements. It makes this a 'living' document that
`encourages frequent revision by its very nature, rather
`than a static one that discourages revision.
`It is the purpose of this document to establish a basic
`framework upon which to base a logical hierachical
`addressing structure. Attached Supplemental Tables
`will be changed as necessary to reflect current
`configurations within the international BBS network.

`Vice-President. Texas Packet Radio Society
`
`Mark your calendar and start making plans to attend
`the year's premier event in Amateur radio digital
`communications. The 14th Annual ARRL Digital
`Communications Conference will be held September
`8-10, 1995, in Arlington, Texas -just minutes from
`Dallas/Ft.Worth Airport. Co-hosts for the conference
`are T APR and the Texas Packet Radio Society.
`More detailed information on the event, including
`a call for papers, conference and hotel registration,
`will be released soon. Contact the T APR office to be
`added to the mailing list for DCC '95 information.
`
`This notice is to alert you well in advance so that
`you may schedule work and family obligations, and
`think about potential paper topics.
`
`The hotel/conference center are extremely
`well-suited and weJl-sited for this event. They
`regularly host other ham events, and staff members
`are very familiar with the sight of satellite dishes
`springing up on the lawn! They, and we, are looking
`forward to a tremendous conference. I hope YOU can
`be a-part of it!
`
`The original proposal was published in PSR #56.
`The comment period continues until January 31, 1995.

`
`Hierarchical Addressing Compliance
`It is unreasonable on the part of any sysop to
`exclude traffic from another station because he won't
`adopt a particular addressing scheme. Part of the
`process which led to the development of the proposed
`hierarchical addressing recommendations was intense
`discussion on BBS-SIG. This discussion included
`comments from many that mis-routing of Amateur
`packet mail via the internet would not occur ( even if
`the address could be confused somehow as an Internet
`address) as long as the gateway sysop set up his/her
`files correctly.
`The fellow who insists that another sysop change
`his hierarchical address is overzealous and
`unreasonable. He would more likely win a convert to
`NOAM if he used more tactful methods. Luckily, most
`folks exhibit more flexibility as far as hierarchical
`addressing is concerned. Continue to deal with them,
`if it
`and the more rigid wm do what metal does -
`refuses to bend, it eventuaJly fatigues at one spot.
`Hopefully, this won't grow to a nation-wide
`flamefest and hopefuJly, not become a long thread on
`BBS-SIG.

`rules. Packet is not some mutant communications
`form that is not definable by the rules. Packet is no
`more or less privileged than any other form of
`Amateur communications. (Packet is used here, but
`this argument extends to all legal. forms of Amateur
`digital communications which are used for the
`forwarding of bulletins)
`
`Did you know that Part 97 comes complete with its
`own dictionary? 97.3 includes a list of definitions for
`the terms used in the document. Two definitions that
`are either overlooked or misinterpreted by many are
`'broadcasting' and 'informational bulletin.'
`'Broadcasting' specifically means transmissions
`intended for reception by the general public (see 97 .3
`( 10)). The term 'informational bulletin,' defined by
`Part 97.3 (23) has no relation to what we refer to as a
`packet 'bulletin.' Part 97 defines an 'informational
`bulletin' as a one-way transmission to hams of a
`message of subject matter composed solely of interest
`to the Amateur service. A good example of an
`informational bulletin is a transmission of ARRL
`bulletins from WlAW. To conclude that all of this
`means that a packet bulletin must be confined to
`Amateur-only subject material is using terribly
`convoluted logic. Except for unproto, there is no
`one-way packet mode. It takes two to tango. A packet
`buJletin is entered on a BBS from the originating
`station in a two-way communication. From then on
`out, that packet bulletin is a third-party message. If it
`gets forwarded from one BBS to another. it is a
`third-party message being forwarded · during a
`two-way communication.
`97 .113 lists prohibited communications and their
`exceptions. There is no specific prohibition against
`content with potentiatJy controversial or frivolous
`subject material. This particular 'crisis of the day'
`arose, as so many others have arisen, because of
`message content. There is general agreement that
`many of the bulletins traversing the network aren't
`worth the eJectricity used to forward them. Studies in
`several metropolitan areas show that over 70% of the
`buJletins NEVER get read. They just get listed. This
`means users are being very selective about what they
`read. They DO have a choice. So do sysops. The
`process of reducing the amount of what many of us
`consider to be 'noise' on our boards begins with each
`of us exercising leadership at home. If someone posts
`a SALE @ ALLUS bulletin on your board trying to
`unload a camping tent, tell them nicely that this isn't
`appropriate. If you have a religious fanatic or political
`alarmist climbing on the electronic soapbox (and that
`soapbox has your callsign stenciled on the side), it's
`time for a heart-to-heart. Easy? Not always. Whoever
`said that running a BBS was gonna be easy? What are
`you doing to get the word out that packet radio, while
`
`Tucson Amateur Packet Radio
`Approved and released by the Board of Directors,
`October 28, 1994
`There has been a ie~ent flurry of activity on the
`packet networks, as documented on BBS-SIG, over
`some packet bulletins issued by Frederick Sober,
`AB6GQ, an Official Observer Coordinator in the
`Sacramento Valley section of the ARRL. The concern
`expressed by AB6GQ is that packet bulletins whose
`contents do not relate to Amateur radio are in violation
`of Part 97. I have reviewed AB6GQ's bulletin, two
`letters from (FCC Personal Radio Branch Chief)
`Johnny Johnston, and discussed the matter personally
`with AB6GQ hy phone on Sunday, October 23rd.
`
`Here is a brief history of events, primarily reported
`by Frederick: in 1993 as an 00, AB6GQ was
`contacted by severaJ JocaJ packet BBS sysops who
`were concerned over the content of bulletins
`addressed, for example, to ALL @ ALLUS, ALL @
`WW, and so forth. The content of many of these
`bulletins did not include ham radio-related subject
`material, and they wondered if this was a violation of
`Part 97. According to Frederick, he contacted his
`section manager, who advised him to get in touch with
`League headquarters. He was advised by a League
`Regulatory Information staffer to contact the FCC
`directly. Someone at the Hayward field office referred
`him to Washington. An exchange of correspondence
`with Johnny Johnslon ensued (texts of Mr. Johnston's
`letters have been trai:scribed to the SIG from copies
`obtained by Greg Jones). AB6GQ has been advised
`that the League is going to 'undertake an educational
`effort' about which something will appear in QST
`after the first of the year. Frederick advises he is going
`to wait for further word through the League chain of
`command for his next, if any, action regarding packet
`bulletins.
`Because the spark which created this particular
`packet 'crisis of the day' was a statement to other
`Amateurs from an Official Observer Coordinator, and
`because there was a reported exchange of
`correspondence with an FCC branch chief, Greg
`Jones, President of T APR, received numerous phone
`calls ,as_king for T APR 's position on this matter. Greg
`discussed this situation with several League officials
`and other respected advisers prior to discussing it with
`the T APR Board of Directors. Subsequently, Greg
`requested that I draft this position statement forT APR.
`To be succinct, most of the flame wars and great
`debates over permissible communications exhibit a
`problem with semantics, not a lack.of specificity in the

`The lessons learned: If you've got a question about

`in writing. Think of the potential impact on ALL of
`Amateur radio when a sma11 chunk of the overal1
`activity (such as packet in relation to everything else)
`is the focus of possible new regulation or enforcement.
`This is not to suggest that the rules be violated or that
`anyone stick their head in the sand about abuses that
`may exist. It is better to try to take care of business
`ourselves, as we are encouraged to do in the rules, than
`to invite possible over-regulation by the FCC. This
`issue may be put to rest forever preferably by the
`League setting the record straight that packet bulletins
`are not one-way transmissions or broadcasting, and
`that 97. 113 is explicit about permissible content of
`Amateur communications.
`Incidentally, I found AB6GQ to be very open about
`this incident and very surprised to find himself at the
`eye of a hurricane. He admits to a degree of initial
`naivete in his effort to be a responsible 00 (and now
`an OOC}. Frederick wants everyone to know that he
`and his team of OOs don't have a hidden agenda and
`most importantly, they areA't vigilantes. They wanted
`some answers to questions about packet bulletins.
`Some missteps and miscommunications (by
`numerous people} led to something being given far
`more relevance than it deserved.

`
`Local Area Network
`The Local Area Network (LAN) is a point of entry
`into the EBN system. User stat~ons can connect to
`other users, other nodes, PBBSs, TCP/IP servers, or
`gateways on these LAN nodes. All LAN nodes are
`multi-port nodes removing all inter-node traffic from
`the LAN or user frequency. The LANs are the only
`access point available to users of the EBN system.
`
`Regional Network
`The Regional Networks are limited access
`networks designed to allow communication between
`nodes within a geographic region. Access to the
`Regional Network is limited to multi-port network
`nodes, PBBSs (for mail forwarding only), TCP/IP
`Gateways, Contest Clusters, and other public server
`stations. Information destined to nodes outside the
`Regional Network is sent to the Area Network node
`associated with that Regional Network.
`
`Area Network
`The Area Network is a main long haul backbone of
`the EBN. The purpose of this backbone is to move
`traffic between distant areas of the network, typically
`about 100 miles between nodes, using· above average
`sites. Area network nodes also-serve .. a Regional
`Network linking that Regional Network to an Area
`Network. Communication between the Regional and
`Area Network is through the RS-232 port of the TNCs
`at the Area Network site.
`The structure of the Area and Regional Networks
`was designed to be transparent to users allowing future
`upgrades to be implemented without any user impact.
`The following is a list of active individuals and their
`e-mail addresses who are associated with the EBN in
`the Northern New Jersey and Southern New Jersey
`areas.

`
`The EASTNET VHF/UHF Backbone System
`[a.k.a. the "EastNet BackBone Network"], referred to .
`as the "EBN," was designed to allow packet
`information from users and BBSs to flow smoothly
`over part of the eastern region commonly called
`"EASTNET." This is being accomplished by building
`a structured system, with controls on growth to create
`an environment of maximum throughput. The EBN is
`not a club or organization, rather a group of interested
`packeteers who wish to create a packet radio network
