  Kewl Steve - yes you got no bananas...


  Lost 'Em long ago... :-) :-)  Wait.... those were my marbles. sorry.....


  My guess for what to do next is to create an awareness for the concept of "useful traffic thruput bytes per minute" in the area.
  Then get measurements established and shared.
  I doubt that the stations stacking up repeat packets know it is happening and don't have tools to "see" it.
  And the "speedometer" seems useful in several contexts.

   Oh boy would that be useful for KISS H.F. Jnos in particular.
   Jnos adheres strictly to the ax.25 protocol, but Msys, another
  popular H.F. BBS program does not. It sends one ack for every frame, even if those
  acks are in the same TX. This causes a runaway condition between Tnos
  and Jnos stations when forwarding with Msys on H.F. via KISS.
  WA8DED does not have this problem. 

   I am interested in your concept of "Useful bytes per minute", how
  to measure it, and then share. It would bring much relief
  to many H.F. forwarding networks, many of which involve
  Jnos, so it's not too far off topic here. KISS is a problem
  on H.F.
