Good Day Everyone,

We received 113 check-ins for March and we thank you very much. Below is
the link to the data on the website: https://www.tprfn.net/pktnet-info

At the bottom of the participant list is two links one for the Google Map
and the other is for the KLM file if you would like to view map in Google
Earth.

In April we will be adding a Packet Challenge to the net, a little hint is
to sharpen up on YAPP download skills. We will also be providing our non
Packet users an option to participate. 

Use this link to see more info about YAPP:

Thank you again and see you in April..

Don't feel obligated to enter a detailed message if it's difficult; the important part is the Subject line!

The VDEN website (https://vden.org) includes information about the Central Virginia BBSes, how to send personal mail and bulletins, and methods for connecting over RF (Packet / Vara via Terminal / Winlink / Outpost).

Bulletins created on the N4VEM BBS will be forwarded over Vara FM to the KN4LQN BBS, which will then forward over Vara HF to the N3MEL BBS and the wider regional packet network.

Reach out if you have any questions!
