[HamGateNY] ***SPAM*** Re: Welcome to HamGateNY

[Ben Sheron KC2OTS]

I'm Ben, KC2OTS, in Endicott NY (near Binghamton).  I've been a ham 
since 2006 when I was a freshman at RIT, and work as an electrical 
engineer working in power conversion.  I'm a Linux and OpenBSD user, and 
am interested in renewable energy as well.

I've been playing with packet radio on and off for the past couple 
years, mostly APRS and connecting two computers of 2m using Direwolf.  I 
would like to put together some sort of packet station at my house, 
perhaps with a shell server you could telnet to over the air.  I'm also 
curious as to what others are doing with packet.

73s,

Ben
