Minnesota Packet Services Directory
This Minnesota packet node list spawned from a packet message I collected in 1996 from NØQVC, and was duplicated on this Web page with his permission. Owing to a renewed interest in the use of the packet mode, I am attempting to keep this list up to date. Please send any questions and updates to Lee Lorentz WBØTRA in Annandale at wbØtra@arrl.net. See the table at the end of this listing for specifics of the information I need. Any node records that do not get confirmed at least once in a two-year period will be dropped from the list. Note that 1200 baud operation is assumed unless otherwise noted in the Remarks column.
As an enhancement to the contents of this page, I'd like to also include any stations running APRS from a fixed location. If you report an APRS station for inclusion in the list, please also indicate if the station has automated weather condition collection and reporting capability.
As every entry on this list has now been verified by email, the special coloring has been removed. When you see any special coloring now, it means that the entry is slated for removal in the near future.
Also check out this link for details on the "Emergency Minnesota" wide-area packet network being assembled on 145.67.
