I have noticed that is is currently not possible to have users enter WWV
info. This was an intentional decision on the designer's part. I would
like to figure out a way to get this info into the node. Since I am
unconnected to other nodes, it would seem that I either need to discover
the way to allow local users to enter this data (thru some mechanism
implemented in a wwv.pl perl script in local_cmd, perhaps?), and/or
figure out an automated way to fetch this data off the web and back feed
it into the proper database in the Spider file system. Can anyone give me
any guidance on either of these approaches, or any other salient advice
on this issue?</font><font face="Times New Roman, Times" size=3>

<font size=2>Probably the easiest way would be to be connected to another
node, and use filters to reject everything BUT the WWV spots. If a
24/7 Internet connection isn't available, you could dial in periodically
to get them.<br><br>

I would like to discover a mechanism that would allow the node to beacon
onto the local 2m packet frequency that the SV2AGW packet engine has me
running on, at least initially while the node is new on the frequency.
The setup is currently using either a PK-232 or a MFJ-1270 TNC 2, running
in KISS mode. Has anyone done this? Can it be done? Is it supported by
the packet engine, spider software, or do I need to write something
myself (I am a C/C++ programmer who has done both DOS and Windows based
programming using Turbo C/C++ or C++ Builder
products...)</font><font face="Times New Roman, Times" size=3>

I'm not that familiar with Windows/Packet setups running in host
mode. In my Linux setup, running a TNC2 in KISS, there is an AX.25
utility BEACON, which I use to beacon my call and an announcement of the
cluster's existence every 10 minutes. Perhaps there's an AGW
equivalent? If not, maybe you can write one, and share it with the
world.<br><br>
Good luck with your setup, and 73 --<br>
