Subject: PACTOR BBS/gateway listDate: 16 Apr 1997 20:01:14 GMTFrom: "Markus Lenggenhager" Organization: SchaffhausenNewsgroups: rec.radio.amateur.digital.miscHi allThe following list of PACTOR-1/2 mailboxes and gateways has been carefullycompiled by Richard PA0RVR and Alf DF7ML. Alf asked me to publish it here,since he cannot post across the firewall in his QRL.73, Markus HB9BRJMBO's 15APR97.*** Bulletin-ID: 134161PA0RVR *** PACTOR MBO's & GATEWAYS =======================* This list contains stations which operate 24 hours a day (unless indicated otherwise), in addition they DO forward all received amateur-messages on to their indicated destinations in the fastest possible manner, using hamradio-means such as the PACTOR ( for the "long hauls") and PACKET networks (for the shorter tracks). Stations operating as a maildrop and other (irregular) types of services will NOT be listed.* All frequencies indicated are in Kilohertz and are MARK-frequencies! If you are using AFSK, you should calculate your dial frequency as follows:------------------------------------------------------------------------IF using LSB: MARK + LOWEST AUDIO TONE = DIAL FREQUENCY UR TRANSCEIVER.IF using USB: MARK - HIGHEST AUDIO TONE = DIAL FREQUENCY UR TRANSCEIVER.------------------------------------------------------------------------* Don't be mistaken. Above rules ALSO apply to PACTOR level II operations! Because all "pactor level II" links start up as pactor level I links. And for those who are doubting, it was a group of German radio-amateurs who invented and developed the PACTOR-PROTOCOL. They founded a company, named Special Communications Systems GmbH. From there they marketed the FIRST pactor-controller ever, the SCS PTC-I. They continued developements which resulted in the PACTOR LEVEL II protocol. And in the beginning of 1996 they marketed their, now famous, PTC-II controller. Let there be NO doubt about the fact, that ALL pactor-controllers which presently are around, use that German pactor-protocol, even though some "CLONES" may not perform as well because the makers did not implement the full protocol in all events! Anyhow, since the SCS-people THEMSELVES strongly advocate the use of the MARK-frequency, it must be obvious to any thinking human being that expressing one's frequency in the MARK-value can't be obsolete! * So all you have to do, is to check your pactor-controller and see which toneset it uses! * If you like to work the other way around, then the following rules apply:----------------------------------------------------------------------IF using LSB: DIAL FREQUENCY UR TRANCEIVER - LOWEST AUDIO TONE = MARKIF using USB: DIAL FREQUENCY UR TRANCEIVER + HIGHEST AUDIO TONE = MARK----------------------------------------------------------------------* Why do we list all stations in a MARK-FREQUENCY notation? Because this has always been the fashion and we are not flexible enough to change it! Why? Well, because the MARK-notation is the one and only SIMPLE YET VERY EFFICTIVE WAY OF INDICATING WHERE YOU ACTUALLY ARE TRANSMITTING! Using MARK-notation means you will be able to find the mailboxes of your choice EASILY. Using MARK also means, your friends will be able to find YOU EASILY, when having a SKED! All it takes is a simple addition or subtraction, whatever! No dividing, no broken decimals, no averaging or any other arithmetic. And in addition, it indicates CLEARLY that the best possible way of using our digital bands is, when EVERY STATION is operating on a MARK-frequency which ends on a half or a full Kilohertz. Such a division guarantees the best possible way of staying clear of eachother!* Please know that the "MARK"-story applies to AMTOR, GTOR, RTTY as well. EXPLANATION OF CODES: ---------------------* All listed stations operate in "ordinary" PACTOR LEVEL I mode. Stations which are indicated with the code "P2", can ALSO work PACTOR LEVEL II. As a matter of fact they will AUTOMATICALLY switch over as soon as they are called by a pactor-signal originating from a PACTOR LEVEL II controller (SCS PTC-II).* Following MBO-systems are indicated: (G) = GPLX, (M) = MSYS, (W) = Winlink.* Some of the listed systems may also be operating in the modes: (A) = Amtor, (GT) = G-Tor, (C) = Clover* As far as the used antenna is known, it will be indicated with: (B) = beam, (D) = dipole or wire, (V) = vertical* The socalled HIERARCHICAL ROUTE of each mailbox is given between brackets (HROUTE).* You're invited to send your changes, corrections, additions and/ or comments to: PA0RVR @ PA0RVR.#ZH2.NLD.EU - email-address: winlink@xs4all.nl DF7ML @ DB0AAB.#BAY.DEU.EU - email-address: pactor@compuserve.com With thanks to all those hams who helped me in setting up this list and supplied us with the data, 73, Richard, PA0RVR.
