* 11/27/2022 - A new packet [https://ohiopacket.org/images/switches/CMHSW1/Switch.jpg switch] has been established near downtown Columbus in Granville, within [[Franklin]] County.  Many thanks to Marcel, AD8CM for his interest.  This system supports 6m, 2m and 70cm traffic.  It currently has RF links to Johnstown, Lancaster and Stoutsville.
 
* 11/16/2022 - The [https://ohiopacket.org/images/switches/JTSW1/JTSW1.jpg JTSW1:KB8UVN-7] has been refreshed to utilize HP T510 thin clients as controllers with primarily CM108 interfaces.  This refresh replaces the Raspberry Pi3B(+) and supports up to 6 CM108 based interfaces.  Additionally the onboard sound card is dual channel allowing a maximum of 8 radios per thin client.  Three additional ports were added with this refresh: A 10 meter port on 28.120 MHz LSB at 1200 baud for alternative local access, 145.750 MHz for 1200 Baud packet+VARA FM and 445.925 MHz for 70cm APRS at 1200 baud.

Welcome to Ohio Packet!

We are here to help new and veteran users alike. From APRS, BBS, TCP/IP, Net/Rom, wiring diagrams, software and everywhere in between, we are here to help!

One of the biggest challenges as a newcomer is finding neighboring systems to link to. With so many frequencies, baud rates and protocols, the task of finding a neighboring Node, BBS, Digipeater, etc can be daunting. The main objective with this site is to allow users and Node/BBS operators from all around the state publish information about their systems and get in touch with others who wish to help or create links. Feel free to navigate around and add anything you see fit. The purpose of the wiki is to allow anyone access to update and share information. Due to trouble with spam postings, it is required that you register prior to making edits. None of your information will be shared with anyone for any reason.

If you are currently a BBS or Node operator, please take a few minutes and share information about your system(s) so others may be able to find it.
