                    How to Use the wb7tpy.ampr.org
               Internet <-> Amateur Packet Radio Gateway

First, some brief operational notes:

(1) Messages must not contain any foul language, or commercial purpose.
(2) Messages can only be sent to countries that the United States has
    a third-party agreement.  All others will be destroyed.
(3) Messages from the internet should be less then 5K in length.
    No files should be sent.
(4) If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact me either on
    packet radio: WB7TPY@WB7TPY.AZ.USA.NA       -or-
    Internet    : david@stat.com                -or-
    Fidonet     : David Dodell @ 1:114/15

(5) Have fun.  Use the gateway as much as you like.  That is what it is 
    there for.

>From Packet to Internet/Usenet/Bitnet/Fidonet:

send email on packet to "gate@wb7tpy.az.usa.na"

The first line of text must be:

Internet: user@site.domain

Any questions can be sent to:

wb7tpy@wb7tpy.ampr.org (Internet)
wb7tpy@wb7tpy.az.usa.na (Packet)

===================================================================

  There is also the KA2QHD gateway in New Jersey.  It is, I believe,
uni-directional (packet->internet).  Again, an internet user must be
registered with the sysop.  Contact John at: 
johnd@ka2qhd.ocpt.ccur.com (John Decatur).

====================================================================

   The W2XO gateway in Pittsburgh, PA.  It is bi-directional; however, 
an internet addressee must be "registered" with Jim.  In other words the
ax.25 sender cannot simply send to anyone on internet; only those users
who have made prior arrangments.  Mail coming in for ax.25 users must,
of course, be screened for content before making the hop over to amateur
packet radio.  Jim can be reached at: durham@w2xo.pgh.pa.us (Jim Durham).
