>        Hi Dave,
>
>        Your homepage was passed along to me.  Since I couldn't respond to
>the questions that you posed, I will just give you a little background on
>what my role is in our system.
>
>        I am the guy in Wisconsin who is assembling the hardware and hard
>work to put together the largest Emergency Packet Network in the state in
>support of NWS activities (Communications).
>
>        I started last year assembling hardware to build a network based on
>TheNet X1J format.  I am now installing PacketCluster Software at each NWS
>offices accross the state.  My main aim at this time is getting a workable
>manual for Pavillion Software so PacketCluster can be understood a bit
>better to taylor it work with some sort of importance in the system.  I have
>the help of a retired DX PacketCluster Sysop near EauClaire, WI.  Recently
>his mother has taken ill and requires him to be at bedside.  My project is
>somewhat at a standstill at the moment.
>I did get my friend to send me the disks and do have it installed on the
>harddrive at the Wisconsin Div. of Emergency Government (Ham Shack).  If you
>know of someone who could lend a hand getting the G8BPQ to operate with
>PacketCluster and a KPC-9612, it would be most helpful!
>I am assembleling an identical system at the NWS office at Sullivan, WI and
>want to do the same for Green Bay NWS, LaCrosse, WI, and Wausau, WI.  The
>Nodes are all installed except for 4 units that we don't have radios for
>yet.   I would like to have the system up and ready for the upcomming storm
>season.  Last year we used the X1J Nodes to communicate between Div. of
>Emergency Govmt. and Sullivan and it worked beautiful.  It is just time now
>to be able to archive all the info for retreival later on and pass Packet
>mail between EC's.
>
>        Early last year I spearheaded the move from the state Packet
>coordinator to declare 145.61mhz. as a state-wide Packet Emergency
>frequency.  It was not easy to do.  But finally after all the votes were
>counted we got the freq. set asside for ARES/RACES and Emergency Only.
>
>        Our goal now is to get this system operating with PacketCluster
>Software and the rest is just filling in the holes.  My Nodes now cover the
>bottom 1/2 of the state completely.  A total of 22 nodes to date all done
>within the last year by one hardworking guy, me!  I'm not burnt out yet,
>because I enjoy the challenge.  I have had some dissapointments along the
>way, but nothing I couldn't solve.  It is to the point now where I need some
>expertise from others to push the big rock over the cliff.
>
>        Thanks in advance for any help you can rustle up.  I will pass along
>your questioner to our SkyWarn Chief.
