Thanks to KV5E here in Mesquite getting on the air and putting down the network we were trying to build here we are down to one station, mine. I have had to shut down the 145.090 node for lack of use and I have to connect to a station in Mansfield Texas to check my on air status. Mansfield is about 40 miles from my station. I will keep my station up until I think it is a futile effort and then I will dismantle it. I will keep you posted.

The multiple addressing problem with Thunderbird has been fixed in Winlink2000. New settings at KB5JBV has allowed for greater through put and will be implemented on the other stations soon.

We ran a simulated test over the weekend and found several flaws in the system here locally and on the winlink network. for those who will be using Thunderbird as your mail client there is a problem with sending multiple recipient emails. I am working with Rick KN6KB to resolve that issue.

OK after a month of resolving problems we are finally on our way.

Currently we have KB5JBV-10 and K5BRS-10 up and running as full 24/7 Telpac stations. WO5Q-10 is up but has no internet feed at thin time. KD5TKO-10 is in the process of construction and KD5KGU-10 will begin construction soon. Benny K5BRS has also put together a station that can be taken mobile using a laptop and some of his APRS equipment.

KB5JBV currently has in operation a Telpac node, Paclink, a running Node / Digi, a Chat Server, and a very basic file server.

At this time the only 24/7 Telpac node in The Mesquite area is KB5JBV. KB5JBV is running Telpac, Paclink, a digi and a Chat node. K5BRS is working on getting his laptop into portable service. others may come onine soon. We will be moving from 145.070 Mhz. to 145.090 Mhz. very soon so check back frequently for updates.
