Yes, G0SMP,
Not been on HF much the last few months, set up GB7CPL BBS last yr, trying to help get UK Packet network going again

.
Also have a few pi-star nodes up, running on Yaesu Fusion, DMR and D-Star, linked to APRS.

Very nice, Steve. I'm not sure how successful that will be but it's certainly worth a try. I used to run a mailbox many years ago, in fact I ran a mailbox three or four different times from different locations.

Nice one,, I had a node running linked to GB7HMZ in Matlock back in the day but never applied for a NoV as there were quite a few around where I lived. As time went by and the internet became more active they mostly dropped off as you will be aware..
I hope the change in licenses by Ofcom will inspire people put on a node without having to get an NoV,, will see, there are a few people about and the interest is picking up a bit..... some FB groups popping up too.
