Just a quick update and a small request.

I have moved the W0RLI link from

ing the Communications Act of 1934. The FCC says he operated without a license on repeaters in Southern California after his license was cancelled.
   Burtons General ticket was revoked in 1981. The following year, he was convicted on four counts of transmitting without a license and two counts of transmitting "obscene, indecent or profane words, language or meaning." Burton initially was sentenced to serve six months of an eight year prison term, with the remainder suspended. Upon appeal, the US Ninth District Court of Appeals upheld the unlicensed operation conviction but threw out his obscenity conviction. The FCC says that Burton transmitted without a license while on probation in 1984 and again in 1990 and in 1992. After the second incident, he was fined $2000 and received a year's probation; after the third, he was sentenced to seven months in jail and a year's probation.
   In 1992, Burton attempted to get his Amateur Radio license back, but the FCC refused to reinstate him. He was briefly successful in getting a ham ticket in 1996, when he passed a Technician exam at a VE session. The FCC granted Burton a new license and the call sign KF6GKS, which was promptly set aside
as soon as the Commission realized its error.
Burton has been free on $20,000 bond. He pleaded not guilty at his
arraignment. A trial was postponed while the plea agreement was being worked out.

144.91 to 223.10. This is quite advantages because it moves the network traffic from the BBS access frequency. I'm
pleased to report that the 220 link is rock solid and W0RLI reports that it is one of his best links. At this time the link operates at 1200 bps but that won't be a problem to the users of the BBS on 144.91.

     I moved the KPC-3 TNC to 223.1 and put a PK-232 TNC on 144.91. Since I made that change I have not seen any packet activity on 144.91. Would those of
you with packet capability please try to connect and give me a report?

    Does anyone have a decent PC they could loan the club? My next step is to install packet node switching software on a PC and add some 440 links.
     Several SYSOPs are providing some of the required equipment but the PC is now the stumbling block.

    If you have any questions please contact me.

  Former amateur Richard Allen Burton reportedly has agreed to serve three months in jail for Communications Act violations, pending pre-sentencing and medical reports. Burton, who has a long history of alleged unlicensed operation, was arrested August 5 after his indictment in May by a grand jury for the US District Court for the Central District of California. Sentencing will be in February.
   Formerly WB6JAC, Burton faced six felony counts of violat
